Sound's like a reasonably expected error from that incorrectly written
line for any site that has a blank MediaWiki:Mainpage message.

You can replace the `Title::newFromText(wfMsgForContent('mainpage'));`
yourself with the proper `Title::newMainPage();`. This seams to have
been fixed since 1.17 so you don't have to worry about any conflicts
when you upgrade.
