returns no tokens even when I am logged in. According to
always-up-to-date api.php I don't need to provide any more parameters
for this to work. Is that a bug?

Hi,
I said that I don't know how to do this correctly, so I can't fix the
documentation. So no, I will not fix it, because I can't.
Regarding your suggestion, it might be a good idea, but apparently
even the "always up-to-date" API documentation returned by api.php is
outdated and its example queries produces warning about deprecated
values. Just have a look at
http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query%2Btokens
which suggest
http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=tokens
which starts with a warning.

Rollback should be this doc-page:
