Presumably it'll pass a referer header, which
means the 3rd-party site
would know who (IP and account, if they have one on their site, like
on Facebook) visited which Wikipedia page when. I'm not very familiar
with the privacy policy, but I'm pretty sure this is shady at the very
least.
If Wikipedia or any other WMF sites deploy anything remotely related to
Facebook, be it Instant Personalization, or even anything slightly less
intrusive, then I'm gone, both as a reader and an editor, and I'm pretty
sure I wouldn't be alone in that opinion. Mission creep is alive and well
at Facebook.
Papa *spank*.
