Uh, no. That's not the issue.

The issue is that if $wgMFAnonymousEditing is enabled, and EventLogging is
installed, it tries to log with a username of null and a null editcount, which
EL rejects since the type is wrong, and prevents the user from editing.

My initial bug report was skimpy, and that's my fault.

The current code already attempts to log events for anonymous editing.

The first solution I came up with was to just not log those fields, so
anonymous edits are still logged, just without a username and edit count.

Disabling logging of anonymous edits would also fix this bug, but it seems a
lot more heavy handed then my solution of logging some of the data.
