I have been using and writing extensions for MediaWiki for a little while now. Lots of them use $wgParser->parse to format output using MediaWiki functions. This seems to break if used in an included page. Instead of rendering the output you get "UNIQ211d04e92beed640...".
You need to pass the right parameters to the parse function or it clears state and messes thigns up. Hopefully we'll get this cleaned up more easily by 1.8 (which should be released in October).
See Cite.php for an example that's known to work with current MediaWiki.
