We embarked on a bugfixing mission to fix bug 34469 on Friday afternoon.  This
bug is a problem with adding and removing items from ones watchlist.

Several of us spent a lot of time looking at this issue.  We thought this one
was fixed by r111695, with there only being a problem with deployment of this
file.  After Andrew scap'd the entire tree to ensure we had a consistent
environment, we found it more difficult to reproduce the problem, but still can
in isolated instances.

The most peculiar part of this is that this seems to be dependent on which user
is logged in.  Aaron first discovered that he wasn't able to watch pages on
enwikibooks, which RobLa confirmed.  Erik had no problem watchlisting with his
main account.  We even tried logging in on each other's machines, and still
witnessed the problem.  Erik then discovered that he wasn't able to watchlist
on eowiki.

RobLa was able to switch browsers from Chrome to Firefox, and have it work with
an account that failed under Chrome.

What seems to be a reliable failure is appending ?debug=1 to the bug seems to
reliably expose the issue (that is, it's always broken).

The common denominator when this fails is that mw.user.options fails to load,
which is easily confirmed by calling mw.user.options.get() from the javascript
console.  This gets back to our old friend, bug 34409, which is a much bigger
problem than just watchlists.

Bug 34409 is a blocker for 1.19, and we may need to roll back until we get this
fixed.
