I filed a separate bug for the diff issue: bug 42669.

It seems from testing on the English Wikipedia that while a large number of
these redirects containing trailing newlines came from this recent
ContentHandler bug (solved by Gerrit changeset 36705), there have been older
bugs in the code that have caused similarly goofy redirects. I'm seeing some
from 2005 and some from 2002 (related to the Conversion script, perhaps).

I'm also noticing byte count irregularities. I believe the maintenance script
that populated byte counts for each revision miscalculated in some cases. This
probably needs further investigation, as it may have ripple effects on data
integrity checks, particularly the SHA1 hashes.
