Has anything related to how URLs are routed or redirected changed in 1.26?
I'm being told that the configuration to enable short urls in IIS7 is partially broken now. Any title with a : in it (including special pages) is getting into an infinite redirect loop like:
http://example.com/wiki/Special%3ASpecialpages -> http://example.com/wiki/Special%3ASpecialpages http://example.com/wiki/Special%3ASpecialpages -> http://example.com/wiki/Special%3ASpecialpages http://example.com/wiki/Special%3ASpecialpages -> http://example.com/wiki/Special%3ASpecialpages http://example.com/wiki/Special%3ASpecialpages -> http://example.com/wiki/Special%3ASpecialpages ...
Yes:

(Plus a couple of follow-ups.)
Yesterday somebody was complaining on IRC that it was resulting in a similar redirect loop for titles with an apostrophe (' → %27) on their Apache setup with lots of rewrite rules that used to work just fine.
