That is a very vague warning. So far I have lower-case 'favicon.ico',
'robots.txt' and 'w/' as potential conflicts. Do you see any others?

In general, I see removing /wiki/ as the less important part of the RFC.
Using sub-resources rather than the random switch to /w/index.php is
more important for caching (promotes deterministic URLs) and does not
seem to involve similar trade-offs.
