Yes, I thought about this as I was going to bed last night (already switched the computer off). That's the only logical explanation, and there are no tabs on special pages which explains the reduced number of calls. It is still odd why the hook is not called on any special pages while logged out though.

Fixed in r32324 -- a hack was circumventing checks on read locked wikis.
Can this fix be backported to stable version ? This feature is important for us and we can't upgrade without this.
In other way is it possible, in the future, to add feature to wgnamespaceprotection system (such as read access) protection directly in core ? I i look down the code for the lockdown extension it seems that it is not very intrusive and such a feature are very simple to implement and don't need a lot of lines of code.
In a second way it would be perfect if we can "hide the existence of pages" too (don't list the page from search or list query where user don't have read access) like this: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Lockdown/hiding_pages (as an example of simple implementation)
Other question : Is there possible to checkout a svn "stable" branche (if exist) who follow stable release of mediawiki to update more easily our installation ?
