Thank you, Jeroen for your help. Sadly, while mw 1.17wmf is basically working
well after some manual additions, the way the /maintenance (and database
upgrade) scripts have been changed in 1.17wmf specifically for the wikimedia
setup prevents us from using this version (we did try to replace them with 1.17
or 1.18, neither version of /maintenance is compatible with 1.17wmf). So
indeed, 1.17wmf cannot be used. 

Presently there seems to be no way to have an agile software version through a
SVN checkout. The "stable" release are hugely outdated, lacking a large number
of features that are live on the Wikipedias. It feels strange to have to depend
on an Encyclopedia-Britannica-like classical software release cycle... :-) I
have submitted enhancement request bug 30519 in this spirit, but pragmatically
we will try to help fixing the bugs in 1.18.
