[Mediawiki-api] Request for pages that don't exist no longer return an error code in xml

[Robert Chin]

Is it intentional that pages that don't exist no longer return an error message?

Previously a request for something like:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=testest&format=xml&redirects

Would return some friendly xml error that I could parse:
<errors>
  <error code="missingtitle" info="The page you specified doesn&#039;t exist" />
</errors>

Now it just returns an empty page. Is there some new way to detect if
an invalid page has been requested or is this simply a bug?

Thanks,

Robert
