It works for me.  I tried changing the MediaWiki:Sitenotice page on my 
wiki (http://dtil.info/index.php/Main_Page) and it took effect 
instantaneously.  I am using 1.6.5.  I suggest you try upgrading again. 
  This time do a tail on the apache error logs to see if you can spot 
the problem.  The spam protection in 1.6.x alone is worth the trouble 
taken to upgrade to it.
