This is wrong. It used to list all pages, starting at Hill. There were links to the previous and next page of the large listing of all pages.
r39427 http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki?view=rev&revision=39427 appears to have allowed subpage syntax to be used for AllPages;
Yes, so it seems if you compare to the immediately previous version. But that is the 3rd commit (by aaron) that day. If you go back to the older version (revision 36481, June 19), there is a similar statement isset($par), which calls showChunk() rather than showPrefixChunk().
The old implementation might have drawbacks, but the new version is too different in function.
