I'm having a weird problem on Arabic Wikipedia. Here are the results of conventional Whatlinkshere: http://tinyurl.com/5dfj4x And an equivalent API query produces a list of only 3 pages: http://tinyurl.com/6sarwh Another example: http://tinyurl.com/686bts
This doesn't seem to be reproducable anywhere else.
What am I doing wrong?

You're forgetting that most of the links you see in Whatlinkshere are not really links, but template inclusions (the "(inclusion)" in [1]). To get those, use list=embeddedin. You can combine both queries with list=backlinks|embeddedin .
