Okay.

So, obviously, I have some extensions that worked with versions up to  
and including 1.8.2, but will break 1.9alpha.  I'm comfortable with  
that, but I've only recently started hacking at this code, so a  
little push along might be needed.  In the case of the RSS feed  
extension I have (Alxndr's, actually), the guilty line reads:

$ti = wfStrencode($wgTitle->getDBkey());

I'm not yet familiar enough with this to completely understand what's  
going on, so if I could ask; can you show me in this case what I  
should be doing?  If I get shown once, I should be able to deal with  
it into the future.

Much appreciated.  Oh, and thanks for gently tolerating the n00b.
