Description Sage Ross 2013-06-16 19:19:32 UTC 
With Experimental settings on, I go to the following url:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cr%C3%AApe

This gets rewritten as:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cr%C3%83%C2%AApe

Upon each refresh, the size of the url increases until I end up with:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cr%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%83%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%83%C3%82%C2%82%C3%83%C2%82%C3%82%C2%AApe

On the stock Browswer browser for Android, the page refreshes with each url on its own, meaning that the target article cannot even be viewed. On desktop, the urls only get rewritten and expanded upon each manual page refresh.
Comment 1 Jon 2013-06-17 19:31:55 UTC 
Very strange. I also notice searching from Crepe on the main page mangles the URL as well.

This could be an issue in MobileFrontend or the History.js library we use.

I notice calling
History.replaceState( null, mw.config.get( 'wgTitle' ), decodeURIComponent( window.location.pathname ) );

instead of
History.replaceState( null, mw.config.get( 'wgTitle' ) )
fixes the reported problem (although pages loaded via the api also have this problem)

arggg encoding issues.

Seems to be an upstream bug:

Comment 4 Jon 2013-06-19 16:55:13 UTC 
In Dolphin this also seems to cause a redirect.

Going to "Ä" redirect to "Ã", then to "ÂÃ" etc.. until it ends up at "Bad
title". This only occurs in dolphin browser on my phone, and not in chrome, nor
in firefox.

(This can also happen on Chrome desktop)
