Is it necessary to destructively modify url-callback-arguments? I.e.
is it used elsewhere that must reflect the redirection as well?
Note that setcar does not return the modified cons, so I think that
should be (asssuming setcar is indeed necessary):
(if url-callback-arguments
(progn
(setcar url-callback-arguments redirect-uri)
url-callback-arguments)
(setq url-callback-arguments (list redirect-uri)))

Again: destructively, or just in this particular call to url-retrieve?

Yes, it's not necessary to test url-callback-arguments and it's better
to avoid destructive operations on lists unless you're sure of what
you're doing.
But (append (list x) ...) is better expressed as (cons x ...):
(cons redirect-uri (cdr url-callback-arguments))
Again, why setq? Do you really need to change its global value?
