I just tried this myself on WP and WB, and there is no such problem. Methinks you have a virus.
Well, I seriously doubt it's a virus. (It's a ridiculously specific and nondestructive thing for a virus to do!) But I'm willing to concede I may have a bug. The other weird thing is that editing [[Calliope (music)]] section 1 gives the title
Editing Calliope (music) (section)
as you would expect, but editing section 0 (after the strange redirect to §ion=0#892555963146827592) says
Editing Calliope music (section)
In fact, it has something to do with parentheses in the title: the problem does not show up for [[Smee]] (the first multi-section article that Special:Random gave me), but it does show up for [[C (programming language)]]. Very strange.
