The easiest solution in my view is to let mos: become a normal interwiki prefix like all others. Yes, this breaks a couple thousand links on the English Wikipedia. Most of them (those not in old edit summaries) can be fixed by a few bot runs. For the people who type in shortcuts or follow links from old edit summaries, just temporarily (for a year or two) turn the target pages on the new Moore Wikipedia into soft redirects with information that this is a deprecated shortcut. I do not think weird special cases in the interwiki system are a good idea. (And I say that as an enwiki editor who likes the MOS: shortcuts and has defended them at RFD for more than a decade).
