I believe this has been the case for a very long time:
r11671 -> Mon Nov 07 04:14:15 2005: purge requires POST.
r11764 -> Mon Nov 21 17:08:11 2005: logged in users exempt from POST requirement.
r19195 -> Sat Jan 13 04:25:25 2007: purge change checked from loggedin to a separate right.
As far as I can see, no WMF wiki has 'purge' right assigned to '*'. So this bug is INVALID unless you're requesting it for anonymous users?
