Description:
This bug was seen on Wikipedia English. Special:Version states the version in use is r107965.

For a few pages of list=allusers in the API, the iteration is fine, returning the next 500 users correctly.

At the user $champange$, however, processing one of the 500 users to be returned causes the following error:

It seems to be related to [[user:%95]] - which is an invalid title.

More concise example queries:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&aufrom=%258&aulimit=1&list=allusers&format=xml is fine, but upping the limit to 2 gives auinvalidtitle - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&aufrom=%258&aulimit=2&list=allusers&format=xml (Upping the limit past 2 for that query makes it ok - so error trying to make query-continue for user:%95 presumably)

If setting auprop=groups, the exception is generated if user:%95 is in the result set. For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&aufrom=%258&aulimit=3&list=allusers&format=xml&auprop=groups (Presumably some title normalization is done when querying the other table)

Setting "High" so that we don't lose track things that result in backtraces.
