Confirmed here. Could this be related to bug 666841?

Dev team: Any idea how common this is? I heard it reported every-now-and-then since we were just using Deki.

Trevor, potappo, Yu-Tang, Frédéric:

Were these pages known to exist before the migration?

It looks like these pages were MindTouch redirects to pages that didn't exist on MindTouch either?
