Am I correct to assume that it is then a just another page? If so, the interwiki takes precedence over a local page. Perhaps we can make the : character an invalid character for page titles.
There are plenty of legitimate uses for a colon in a page title. Perhaps local pages which start with something which is also an interwiki prefix should take precedence over the non-local page. Some way to link to the non-local page would be required, of course.
Not for creation (or move target). If you allow to create pages overriding interwiki links, you're opening it for abuse. Take into account that many policies have interwiki links. On the other hand, showing pages created before the interwiki was added, could be good as it would allow sysops to move them instead of need to ask on bugzilla.
