Did you just discover this, or did you forget to report the bug? :)
I tracked this down yesterday. It's so blindingly obvious when you look at the code that I suspected it might be intentional. For my own installation, I just cut $expire down by a few orders of magnitude.
While I was debating whether I should still report it or write a patch, along came a list message that allowed me to sneak in my discovery and off-load responsibility.
Please do! File a bug at http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ to make sure we don't forget about it.
Btw, is there a deeper reason why the limit on RC entries is encoded twice in the URL (previous and current value)?
Stupidity? Forgetfulness? :)
Looks like it's just taking the whole current URL and tacking on the additional parameter. It ought to be merging the sets of values instead.
File a bug...
