if you insert "Special:BlankPage" into the "Title of Main Page" text field at http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:CreateNewsletter, the error message tells you "Special:BlankPage does not exist", where "Special:BlankPage" is a blue link; this is weird behavior

This is the default message thrown by HTMLTitleTextField from core. I have submitted https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/250184 for this.

It seems like this field should be setting 'creatable' => true so special pages aren't accepted?

Maybe the default value is wrong here?

Makes sense but we should investigate where this is used and update if needed before changing. I don't think there would be huge usage as it was introduced relatively recently.
