That is why we may need a custom APISite as well as a custom family.  Such an 
ugly problem to work around.  It would be worth finding other wikis with 
similar interwikimap bugs, to justify the time spent on it.  The one sort of 
similar problem is battlestarwiki, which has a lot of dead wikis in its 
interwikimap.  I expect that we'd find other wikis with interwikimap problems, 
but I am not sure how we'd find these wikis.  We could validate the interwiki 
map of all meta IWM wikis; that might uncover some interesting problems.

If it is a beta wiki only problem, we should work with 'upstream' to resolve 
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75906, which has a patch and probably only 
needs to get some review loving.
