--- Comment #1 from xqt info@gno.de --- Some additional hints
Look at Site.preloadpages() method at site.py line 1381 QueryGenerator.limit is set to -1:
rvgen.set_maximum_items(-1) # suppress use of "rvlimit" parameter
Documentation of QueryGenerator.set_maximum_items() Shows """ If set to -1 (or any negative value), the "limit" parameter will be omitted from the request. For some request types (such as prop=revisions), this is necessary to signal that only current revision is to be returned. """
