It seems from these like admins can force edits past the title blacklist:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Titleblacklist

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13780

(Alternatively, you could request a patch for the title blacklist so
that a check can only apply to uploads, but as far as I can tell this
functionality doesn't currently exist)
