It turned out that this was occurring on my installation due to hosting
provider local-wonkyness.  Hosting provider (nearlyfreespeech.net) was
rewriting the REMOTE_ADDR environment variable to facilitate their reverse
proxies being "transparent" to scripts that were unfamiliar with interpreting
X-Forwarded-For headers.  The unintended side affect of this was that when
external proxies were also present, REMOTE_ADDR looked something like
"127.0.0.1, 44.68.10.10", which is not normal.  Mediawiki choked on this.  A
locally relevant patch was applied, resolving the issue.

YMMV, this may not be the same issue the others are experiencing.  But check
your REMOTE_ADDR anyway (by way of phpinfo() perhaps?).

That said, MediaWiki should likely not puke when presented with a malformed
REMOTE_ADDR.
