--- Comment #2 from Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <bawolff...@gmail.com> ---
Further investigation.
Note still accessible at https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=31451688
Basically, it appears somewhere along the lines gwtoolset didn't properly
normalize the page title correctly, thus creating it with the letter 'é' (ie
Using combining characters. A U+69 followed by a U+301), instead of doing a 'é'
(The precomposed version - U+E9). Titles are supposed to be in NFC, so the
various things subtly explode when the non-NFC U+69 U+301 is used.
All the symptoms mentioned are consistent with an incorectly normalized db
entry, except maybe symptom 1 which seems to imply there was a page at one
point using the other form of the é. Kind of unclear what happened there, given
the page is now moved/deleted. Perhaps there were page entries for both
variants, but the proper variant was broken (e.g. It was fully uploaded to the
wrong é, but as part of the process, it was partially uploaded to the correct é
too). Hard to know.
My previous comment (comment 1) seems to have been incorrect, and this has
nothing to do with bug 32551.
