It has been reported that this breaks iOS clients [1]. To give the authors time to fix their clients, I have instated a temporary hack that expands protocol-relative URLs to fully-qualified URLs even in the HTML produced by action=parse. This means that action=parse HTML will not contain protocol-relative URLs for now, which should allow those iOS clients to keep working while their authors fix them. Because of the considerable increase in server load this hack causes, it will be live for at most two weeks, after which the old behavior will return, and protocol-relative URLs will appear in action=parse HTML. See [2] for details.
This change has now been undone. I previously announced that it would be undone yesterday, but that didn't end up happening. My apologies for slipping a day on that.
