No, I mean a relative URL starting from the root.

It sounds like the problem is the application is broken, so I guess that's 
the problem that has to be fixed. If it was integrated improperly, then 
it's got a bug to fix.

>can the target be something like &target=$referer !?

No, as I said.

If you can control that SessionInitiator location, then point it at your 
own script and use that to pick up the Referrer and create a new redirect 
to the real SessionInitiator. If you can't, then you could even set a 
discoveryURL to point it to your own script, have that pick up the 
Referrer, and then redirect back with the entityID set. Etc. Many options. 
If you can't do any of that, you have nowhere near enough access to this 
to fix such a broken application.
