Yes, seems so. Downgrading to 1.7.1 helped :)
I think, Brion now identified the reason with the Zend Optimizer.

In the last days this bug seemed to be fixed in the 1.9-svn-trunk, so in the 
upcomming 1.9 release this will be fixed. This this bug:

1.9 will be release today or tomorror ... in the notes you will find:

=== Zend Optimizer ===
A bug in some versions of PHP 5 and Zend Optimizer which was triggered under
MediaWiki 1.8.x has been worked around by disabling some internal debugging
features when Zend Optimizer is loaded. This should solve some common
"blank page" problems.
