As an interim workaround, I've put together a quick-and-dirty script to slowly do a rolling purge of items using pywikibot. It identifies all items that have not been edited since before the formatter URL was changed, generates a list, and works through them. As it uses the PWB framework it respects maxlag, and will back off if overloaded. https://github.com/generalist/wikidata-misc/blob/master/wikidata-purge.sh Works fine for small sets of items, but maxlag-related delays mean it's probably not a practical solution for very heavily used properties.
