Comment (by kevin):

 I did some more digging (man does mediawiki have a lot of bugs in their
 bug tracker. ;( )

 This might be a bug in the Lockdown plugin we are using.

 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28842
 which was fixed in the trunk lockdown, but not backported to the 1.16.5
 one, and our package wasn't patched for it.
 See also: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2833 where
 we worked around this bug, but I don't think in quite the right way.

 So, I'm going to try and:
 - revert our hotfix above.
 - upgrade the lockdown plugin to one with the patch listed in the bug.

 I'm going to try that out in staging first, hopefully I can get the bug to
 show up there then see if this fixes it.
 Sorry this has persisted so long.
