I just checked this. Under "Server Management" / "Maintenance" / 
"Server-Desktop" you can tick the checkbox "Redirect to Server-Name" and 
can define which "GUI Aliases" redirects Apache URLs to the GUI Login page.

By default there is only one "GUI Aliases" and it's "login".

The script /etc/httpd/conf.perl/00-default-vsite.pl generates both the 
SSL configuration of the server on the fly and also automatically 
inserts the GUI redirects. If you have "login" defined under "GUI 
Aliases", then the following dynamic configuration will be inserted:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}       ^([^:]+)
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}   !-d
RewriteRule .*                 https://%1:81/gui/Forbidden403 [L,R]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}       ^([^:]+)
RewriteRule ^/login/?$         https://%1:81/login [L,R]

That triggers on ^/login/?$, meaning the URL must *begin* with "/login" 
and there may not be anything else after it.

So that means:

/login	   	<-- will redirect to the GUI
/xlogin    	<-- causes a 404
/loginx    	<-- causes a 404
/xogin?xxx 	<-- causes a 404
/images/login	<-- causes a 404

Based on that I can't see why /wp-admin/css/login.min.css would redirect 
to the GUI.

On my end it doesn't either and instead it shows the CSS:

https://soloparaestudiantescuriosos.smd.net/wp-admin/css/login.min.css

That's a Wordpress on a 5211R.

Please check if you have a .htaccess that does redirects and also check 
if your /etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory contains any files with "/login". 
It *should* come up blank like this:

[root at 5211r ~]# egrep '/login' /etc/httpd/conf.d/*
grep: /etc/httpd/conf.d/subdomains: Is a directory
