For the record, this is happening on the following URI:

https://portainer.domain.com/#/auth?redirect=portainer.auth

I was assuming this was a reverse proxy configuration issue (NGINX). Looks like this is the root cause. Submitting my login information from that URI doesn't move me to anything. But if I refresh the page, I am logged in and on the dashboard.

This has been happening to me too

Yes the root cause is the redirect=portainer.auth part, this has been fixed and will be part of 1.20.2.
