I've made a GRAMMAR test page about a year ago and thanks to it I detected some
strange behaviour. I'm not sure on this one, but perhaps it could be a starting
point (and maybe the fallback mechanism actually works good).

If you see the green checks, then the GRAMMAR worked the right way (default
interface language: be-tarask). In the footer you can also see the link "Пра
Вікіпэдыю" ({{int:aboutsite}}).

Now, let's switch to be-x-old (I checked both with 'uselang' and Settings
customizing).

If GRAMMAR would not fall back to be-tarask rules, we would see a lot of red
fail signs, and we don't. But! If we call by the footer, we can see that
{{int:aboutsite}} didn't actually worked out. {{SITENAME}} has just stayed
{{SITENAME}} and GRAMMAR rules were not applied.

So, maybe it's not fallback mechanisms to blame.

P.S. dug into code and I think that Skin::footerLink() just doesn't support
magic words.
