It seems that the issue is that the linktable updates that trigger cascading
protection run through the job queue and are thus potentially delayed if the
job queue is long. The solution, therefore, is to ensure that the
templatelinks and imagelinks tables are updated quickly after a
cascade-protected page is updated.
IIRC someone (Tim?) is working on an improved job queue construction; as
suggested in comment#12, a 'priority stream' should be considered in that
system. In the meantime (and perhaps even regardless), it would seem to be
sensible to update these tables *immediately* as part of the page save, if the
page is cascade-protected. Since only admins can save cascade-protected pages,
this whould not be a DoS vector.
