The article text can not be fetched from the database on the toolserver.
Using the API would work just as well as Special:export, as long as as many
pages are fetched at a time as possible. One request per page would suck.

Looks like the API will do the trick - I can get 50 articles at a time. Someone asked what I'm up to - I'm setting up a cache of pages with hatnotes that link to disambig pages, to begin the process of identifying intentional vs. non-intentional disambig links. I plan to refresh the cache daily, which will definitely involve re-checking hundreds of articles, if not thousands.
