As of r52190 [1], API maxlag errors (the kind of error you get when
you set &maxlag=2 and the maximum slave lag is higher than two

consistency with index.php (which does the same thing).
I agree with the others, this change should be reverted, as it is an
arbitrary breaking change that makes things more difficult for API
clients for consistency with something that is not really related.
Because of this and other complaints on the mediawiki-api list, I've
reverted the change in r53353. It never went live on Wikipedia.
