I do, in fact, get badtoken errors occasionally, when the network request gets mangled somewhere.
I also got this in my log:
(mwapi putedit error: u'<?xml version="1.0"?><api><error code="unknownerror" info="Unknown error: ``231''" /></api>')
(that is Python repr() format of the returned text)
I've only noted this once; there was no particular difference in the request being made (sorry, I don't have that; I *think* the request was to te.wikt); same code path as many thousands of other page writes.
I'm not really concerned about it, but it might bear looking at?

I've protected against it by encoding the token *after* the text, title, and edit summary. Presumably no token means it won't edit?
