This problem can be solved without developers' help -- if you can identify which revision goes with which article.
That's the problem - I'm pretty sure there was a cut n' paste move between the two which was the reason for the history merge in the first place (as often happens on WP:RM...). But the mistake I made was merging the entire history of the two.
It might be just simple redirects after the major history of the unaccented version, but I'm not sure :(.
(Move from Montreal Expos to accented version of same name).
Thanks, Ryan
