I was actually bit by the abuse filter directly, as I was setting up a new page on Meta,
using a newly created account:
1. Because the page included an external link, I needed to enter a CAPTCHA.
2. The AF then threw a warning that my changes appeared harmful, citing " new user
youtube, &c"
3. I was then thrown back to the CAPTCHA, repeat endlessly. :) There was no way forward.
Thanks.

Bug 52077, possibly?
