I haven't been able to reproduce this, but I believe this error would result in an error message upon saving when creating a new page using VisualEditor. (The page would still be saved, but the editor would be stuck believing that it wasn't.)

Thanks @matmarex!

Still seeing a handful of these in wmf.15.

I think calling this API with blocked IP can reproduce the issue, the save attempt would fail and no page created.

Yes, I missed that we also run this code when saving the edit fails, in which case the page may indeed not exist. My bad, I'll propose another patch.
