Could someone investigate this / fix that module?
After pywikibot devs cleared some other test breakages (our problems) we see this problem is also affecting the test wikis, which I assume means this bug will be affecting real wikis soon, so I've created an Unbreak Now! ticket for it and cc'd @greg.

I'll very likely go ahead and backport it to 1.26wmf8 as soon as it's merged and I confirm Beta is fixed.
