I'm not an AJAX Ninja but why don't you build up a hook that call
similar stuff in modules/user.module user_login_submit/validate?

You will get back the right changed session without a redirect.

The main problem could be delaying user login hooks of other modules:

user_module_invoke('login', $form_values, $user);
