Out of curiosity... If the new revisions of one of these badly edited pages are deleted, leaving the top revision as the one just before the bad iw bot edit, does a rerun of the bot on the page fail?
I did a test, and the result was very interesting, which might point to the cause of this bug:
I deleted the page [[nl:Blankenbach]], then restored the 2 versions before the problematic bot edit. When now I look at the page, instead of the page content I get:
In de database is geen inhoud aangetroffen voor de pagina met .
Dit kan voorkomen als u een verouderde verwijzing naar het verschil tussen twee versies van een pagina volgt of een versie opvraagt die is verwijderd.
Als dit niet het geval is, hebt u wellicht een fout in de software gevonden. Maak hiervan melding bij een systeembeheerderhttp://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciaal:Gebruikerslijst/sysopvan Wikipedia en vermeld daarbij de URL van deze pagina.
Going to the specific version that after the deletion-and-partial-restore should be the newest ( http://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blankenbach&oldid=10676248), it claims that there is a newer version, but going to the newer version or the newest version, I get the abovementioned message again.
As an extra test, I did the delete-then-restore-some-versions-but-not-the-most-recent action with another page (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebruiker:Andre_Engels/Test), and there I found no such problem. From this I conclude that the bug has not been caused by that process, but that for some reason the page had a wrong (or empty) version number for its 'most recent' version, or something like that.C
Curiouser and curiouser... I now see that when I click the edit button from the abovementioned page, I do get to edit the page at is it shown, even though that one is not in the history (the page is a copy of [[ MediaWiki:Missing-articlehttp://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Missing-article]] with the empty string filled in for $2).
