When you blanked a page or replace its content into a
REDIRECT
some features of the maintenance pages still consider
they old content.
This is true for:
Special:Maintenance&subfunction=mispeelings, which
see mispelling error in blanked or 'now a redirect' pages!
Special:Maintenance&subfunction=brokenredirects,
which given nonsense results concerning blanked or 'now
a redirect' pages.
Strangely, if you replace the content with a few
character, then the result is OK. But if you make the
page blank again or make it a redirect again, the same
wrong result is returned.
From where come these result then? From the CUR table,
the top of OLD?

Merged with [ 822057 ] What links here - well, not really
Looking at 'What links here' for [[Leon Day]] yeilds an
odd result
http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:
Whatlinkshere&target=Leon_Day
It appears to be a combination of 'What links here' for
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_Hall_of_Fame
and http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Day .
I could just be going crazy, however.

Merged with: [ 840943 ] links getting moved when moving page
I recently moved a page, and afterward all pages that
formerly linked to the original page, were now shown (on
whatlinkshere, and thus in the links table) as linking to
the moved page.
See http://nl.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?
title=Speciaal:Whatlinkshere&target=Zouten for what I
mean - almost all of those pages in reality link to 'zout'
rather than 'zouten'.

Merged with: [ 848570 ] image links not updated/removed
image links not updated/removed
When a page gets edited, the pictures on it are not
noted in the database as linking to the page.

Got the image bits fixed; there was a missing DB_WRITE
parameter in the query in Title::invalidateCache which
caused the whole process to die with an error message
(unshown since the save redirects to a page view) and never
get to run the query to insert the links.
This may affect some other things as well, so hopefully
improving...

The following comment was submitted in a duplicate report
#910211:
Here is an article A. It was previously moved to B and
returned to A, and contains Article C at that time.
This situation, On showing "What links here" of article
C, report contains article A twice.
Example(In Japanese Wikipedia) is here.
http://ja.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=%E7%89%B9%E5%88%A5:
Whatlinkshere&target=AIR
In this sample, "I've" shows twice.

Duplicate [ 911124 ] Database bug with "what links here":
There is definitely a bug somewhere in the database
code which maintains the "what links here" stuff. I
was looking at [[Hypoteneuse]], a redir someone
had listed on RfD, and when I clicked on "what links
here" for that page, I noticed three links from the
"C" page - but the C page had no links to that redir.
Just recently, I was working on cleaning up double
redirs, and as I was working on cleaning up double
redirs pointint to "Niccolò Machiavelli", the "what links
here" page for *that* came down with the same
disease - this time, multiple entries from "International
relations". (And I see also that "Machiavellian" is also
showing multiple links from "Niccolò Machiavelli").
Ack! Creeping bit-rot!

I'm presuming this is the same problem as is causing red
links to pop up all over the place. There have recently been
problems on en: with links to the article about Wikipedia
itself, for instance, and it seems to be happening more
often than it used to. A trivial edit doesn't always fix it
anymore, either.
Basically, I'm guessing that some database queries that
should be updating the links table aren't - perhaps
something's timing out when the server gets busy? Anyhow, I
imagine this could affect both whatlinkshere and the status
of internal links.
