The API is giving completely wrong results for new pages listings.
The URL given gives the following result (currently) for [[Life in Technicolor II]]:
<rc type="new" ns="0" title="Life in Technicolor II" rcid="262418754" pageid="20557392" revid="256059474" old_revid="0" user="I need a name" timestamp="2008-12-05T16:07:45Z" />
except:
*The article was not created by the given user
*The article had no edits within several minutes of the given timestamp
*The article was patrolled under its original title - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=patrol&page=+Life+in+Technicolor+ii
*The pageid is wrong, not the pageid for either the current or previous title (its a non-existent page according to the API)
other entries seem to have similar problems. AFICT, the similarity between them is that they were all moved to a new title. Special:Newpages is giving correct results, so the problem seems to be in the API.
