Is this specific to any particular device, or widespread? Sounds like the err
we give on things when no User-Agent is given on a request:

$ telnet en.m.wikipedia.org 80

Scripts should use an informative User-Agent string with contact information,
or they may be IP-blocked without notice.

I think this is checked and enforced from our PHP-based config files for
MediaWiki... if it's getting triggered, then perhaps either some requests have
an empty or missing user-agent header, or there's some bizarre cache collision
with something that does...?
