This seems to be a MW bug. Ever since we updated our
wiki to MW 1.23,
this has been happening to lots of our users, myself included.
Apparently, the option to add pages edited to the watchlist is checked by
default, which probably needs to be disabled by default.
I believe this user preferences default change was intentional. On smaller
MediaWiki installations (which is most of them), the new default behavior
typically makes a lot of sense, as I understand it. However, treating
rollback as the same as a manual edit probably needs further thought. And
sysadmins of larger wiki installations probably want to re-visit whether
the user preferences defaults are appropriate for their communities.
