A request against mobile view throws an error. It's not intended to do anything. It's not meant for special pages.

Reading through the e-mails it looks like the apps weren't special casing special pages. There is no bug in mobile view that I can relating to this discussion so I think this is a case of a misunderstanding. Please reopen with more exact instructions if there is a problem.
