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.
