Since I want to keep this setting, is it possible to enable access to the API only though settings in LocalSettings.php? The following did not help: $wgGroupPermissions['*']['writeapi'] = true;
Well, this is not really needed anymore either, since I now managed to log in through the API.
You're correctly pointing out that acting like action=query doesn't exist to users who don't have permission to use it is confusing and wrong. This has been fixed on trunk, which means it shouldn't be happening on Wikipedia anymore and won't happen in MW 1.15+.
