Has happened for the last 2 weeks worth of builds or so.

Seems completely random. I've seen this at http://textpattern.net/wiki/index.php?title=TextBook_International and some other non-wiki sites as well.

Note that navigating to another Wikipedia page from the blank one ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush , for example) works fine.
