So, one of the things I did to help make the site more resistant to broken spambots was to turn on output compression and caching in MediaWiki. Of course, if those are turned on by your hosting provider anywhere else in the stack (Apache/nginx, PHP, etc.), hilarity such as what's being observed ensues. 
I'll turn off the output compression and clear the wiki cache when I'm in a location where I can do so.
