That's kind of broken by design, because the fact that the *move* protection is
too liberal shouldn't prevent cascading protection: only edit=sysop should be
checked. But that's a different bug.
What isn't documented in the api.php help (it should be) but is at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit_-_Protect is that &cascade is silently
ignored if you're not allowed to cascade-protect. Of course, the output should
reflect that; I hope to fix that tomorrow. I'll ask Brion about allowing
cascade protection with move=all as well.
