I submitted a bug report describing the problem in more details on the Wikimedia Bugzilla, but short version is that when deleting or moving multiple pages at once, I experienced severe server lag and timeouts, and the job queue seemed to process the requests in PHP very slowly in PHP 5.5.0. I rolled back to 5.4, and it's working fine.
