There is a so-called edit token that gets sent with every edit you make. If your sending has no edit token, or the wrong one, you will get a preview page instead. Normally your edit token is connected to your login. As I have been told, it is used to make it harder to make changes claiming to be someone else. Apparently on rare occasions, your edit token changes, and so you will get a preview page instead of a change. However, on rollbacks you can't get a preview page, so this error message is provided instead.

Rollback failed
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Please hit "back" and reload the page you came from, then try again.
This is very annoying. Why did it happen? There isn't a throttle on edits, is there?
