In the examples I saw, it was because it was never precisely documented whether it should be included, and until now both ways worked. Some users only passed the page name and some included the colon like they would do in a link.
In that case, I might prefer suggesting a documentation fix and updating use sites to the pad left solution, but I guess that depends on how pervasive it is.

I see that the linter has been deployed, but it doesn't seem to be picking up errors that result from template transcriptions, e.g. https://zh-yue.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%A9%A9 (Neither this page nor the template the caused the error has been changed since the MediaWiki breaking change.)
https://zh-yue.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LintErrors/multi-colon-escape shows no matches.
The short answer is that, currently, there needs to be an edit to a page (or template transcluded on the page) before the results will show up. T161556 is about reprocessing all pages.
