In fact, you can login to the me.com site via the iPhone/iPod touch, but you need an app that uses its own web browser rather than the Safari.app that is on the device. I have done this with an app called iStorage, which uses it own browser rather than switching to Safari.app. It looks like you can also use the browser in IM+ lite 3.0, which is free.
I tested the Find My iPhone feature from my iPod touch, and it worked. It displayed where my iPod touch was at that moment, and I was also able to send a message to it with the alert sound. It was slow, though -- very slow. And I suspect that's why Apple has a redirect when trying to login to me.com from the iPhone/iPod touch. But if needs must...
I don't see why Apple couldn't enable the Find My iPhone page to work as a simple webpage when using an iPhone/iPod touch -- it just needs the map and send message and remote wipe buttons. Until they decide to do this, though, this workaround is a viable solution.
