Hi, Tim Starling had done title cleanups for all malayalam wikis just after 5.1 normalization activated, to avoid title conflict he renamed all titles those are using 5.0 chills by prepending 'Broken/'. So you can see those pages herehttp://ml.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%B4%AA%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%B0%E0%B4%A4%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%AF%E0%B5%87%E0%B4%95%E0%B4%82%3A%E0%B4%AA%E0%B5%82%E0%B5%BC%E0%B4%B5%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%B5%E0%B4%AA%E0%B4%A6%E0%B4%B8%E0%B5%82%E0%B4%9A%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%95&prefix=Broken%2F&namespace=0 .
We had restored those titles in ml.wikipedia, but not yet on ml.wiktionary :(

To answer my own question, no, it won't: it will move all the 5.0 pages that have 5.1 redirects to pages named "Broken/ID:nnnn" and the result is a huge mess.
Either the redirects must be deleted first, or the code in cleanupTitles fixed to move over redirects.
Fixing cleanupTitles.php to allow moving pages over one-rev self-redirects, just like with normal page moving, would IMHO be a good idea anyway. The code can be adapted from Title::isValidMoveTarget() and Title::moveOverExistingRedirect(). In fact, the former method could probably be used as is -- while the situation in cleanupTitles is a bit unusual, in that title normalization will cause the redirect to point to itself, Title::isValidMoveTarget() seems to already have code in place to handle that special case.
