Aha, we fixed this yesterday when we spotted this in dev; it's a load race condition that doesn't happen often, but I'll get it backported.

Change #1254911 had a related patch set uploaded (by Jforrester; author: Genoveva Galarza):

[mediawiki/extensions/WikiLambda@wmf/1.46.0-wmf.20] Restore quotation-marks in ext.wikilambda.app messages

Thanks. It’s not a huge issue but it seems to be happening “all the time”, just so you know.

[edit] It’s a bigger issue than I thought because it affects error details, which can’t be expanded.

Is it correct that it shows up as « Hello, world! », not "Hello, world!" ?
EDIT: nevermind that's just french. all good now.
