I haven't figured out yet how this got the bad state, but I've resolved it and checked for other wikis in the same state. I also recreated/reindexed satwiki and zhwikiversity. Those two are new wikis so the reason they don't exist is likely unrelated.

I saw a few instances of this on checkuser.wiki a few minutes ago. It's intermittent, and seems to happen more frequently on queries with large numbers of namespaces. Discussed briefly on IRC #wikimedia-tech.
