As the page source looks fine, it sounds like some kind of problem with the wiki parser or the underlying system being broken.
First, make sure any trace extensions are disabled. Since you'd been using FCKEditor, also make sure that there were no modifications to the main MediaWiki source code due to that that remain. Confirm you've got a clean copy of MediaWiki...
Also check a 1.13 branch checkout (currently SVN trunk) in case there was something specific about 1.12.0 behaving odd on your system.

Thanks Brion. What I ended up doing is installing a fresh copy of 1.12.0 on a different server, then moving across the database, settings & images from the old server and it seems to work fine. So I guess the parser must have gotten corrupted somehow -- not sure how, but guess that doesn't really matter now that I've got it working again. :)
Thanks for your help!
