Yes, only the head element is read (albeit with a slightly fuzzy definition of "head element").
In a theoretical future unstable branch, that might change, but currently mechanize doesn't try all that hard to work well with bad HTML.
Currently, you have to work around this kind of issue. You can perform the refresh manually, or modify the HTML and call .set_response(), or replace the HTTPEquivProcessor with your own (you could use HTTPEquivProcessor itself -- you can pass a parser factory function to its constructor).
