I was told that my pywikipedia-based interwiki bot marks sighted versions as unsighted and vice versa. Is this related to the caching problems?
An English-language summary of the new feature and its open problems would be very useful for interwiki bot owners... Or do we already have one?
Examples of incorrect bot behaviour on May 14 and 16:

FTR: Apart from SilvonenBot I noticed several other bots removing flags, and among the [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Gesichtete_Versionen/Rechtevergabehttp://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Gesichtete_Versionen/Rechtevergabe request for new rights] there are several requests concerning bots. So it seems not to be a problem with this individual bot but either the bot software or the wiki software.

I don't know if there is anything to fix in pywikipedia, but I submitted this in its bug tracker, too:

According to the wikibots-l mailing list, there was a bug in pywikipedia after all, but it didn't occur with older FlaggedRevs versions:
