I have created a post-mortem at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incident_documentation/20131104-Parsoid The most important recommendation is the creation of automated full-stack web API tests in addition to our existing parser test and round-trip test setups. This should catch library issues like this in the future before deployment. We also updated the Parsoid deploy guidelines to include manual edit checks on non-English wikis, which will help to catch any remaining production-specific deployment issues.
