Initial Comment:
Seems to me like an error while trying to parse the mediawiki messages...

Message:
This was due to some mediawiki extensions adding white lines in top of
generated XML, which makes the XML invalid.

The obvious solution is to fix your installation to remove that empty
line.

We, however, have also "fixed" the issue on the pywikipedia side, to
remove the headers before parsing the XML.
