The relevant code was added 
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/pywikipedia/9580> in 2011 by @xqt 
, mentioning https://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=3414669 , but that 
URL is now 404.  It would be nice to know what that problem was.  I am 
wondering why this bug hasnt been hit in 2+ years.

Anyway, the problematic page appears to be 
https://yi.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=%D7%90%D7%A0%D7%95&action=history&uselang=en
 . Worth noting that has never been truly empty.  It has three (3) characters, 
whereas page.isEmpty() returns true for any page with less than four (4) 
characters.  This 'greater than 4 characters' rule was especially introduced 
for interwiki.py (and is only used by interwiki.py), in 2004.
