If I remember well, data for the previous year or so were partial. But, someone from tech staff should know it better.
Alexa doesn't say anything special for Wikipedia.

What was the day again when Google switched on the "Instant" feature?

Google Instant began to be rolled out on 8 September, and I think was broadly "arrived" for most users by a week or so later - the middle of the month. If we were going to see a surge from that, we'd have had it appearing in late September, but that month doesn't seem to be particularly unusual.
Given that there doesn't appear to be any jump in page views or reach as measured by Alexa [1], I would be inclined to assume it is some sort of a glitch with our counting infrastructure. It is hard to imagine any simple external process creating a real 50% jump in traffic. If I recall correctly, Google is the largest single referrer and they only account for 30% of traffic or something, so they would have to more than double their referrals to raise our views +50% in a month. More likely than not, this is some sort of an error in counting for the current month.
