It seems this is breaking a number of user talk pages on gomwiki, for example https://gom.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%80_%E0%A4%9A%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%9A%E0%A4%BE:AbdealiJKTravis and https://gom.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%80_%E0%A4%9A%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%9A%E0%A4%BE:AStrumf10

Apparently NewUserMessage is what's creating these broken pages.

Not anymore. I disabled the extension. I think I need to revert the patch from T154623: Workflow ID null for some user talk pages on gomwiki, though.

You're right, the cases I looked at are all old-ish, from late 2016.
