In the 1.17 branch, SpecialOAIRepository uses an old-style constructor, which causes a ‘Invalid special page name ""’ exception to be thrown when trying to use Special:OAIRepository. r81705 fixed this in trunk but it was not integrated into the 1.17 branch.
Is this broken when you use it against a MW 1.17 install?
Yes, as described. Changing to a new-style constructor fixes it.
