The PMID magic link does not support a protocol-relative URL. For example:
PMID 12122621
Will always direct to http:// even when you are logged onto the secure server.
The RFC magic link does supports a protocol-relative URL.

PMID and RFC magic links (and others) are detected from the Parser::magicLinkCallback method.
The urls themselves are defined in interface messages:
Both the PMID and RFC messages are are set to protocol-relative urls
And testing it in a sandbox:
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Project:Sandbox&oldid=534856
Shows that they are working fine.
Accessing it through the secure HTTPS server:
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Project:Sandbox&oldid=534856
Also works. Please re-open if this is still a problem.
No, it was changed in november 2011:
en.wikipedia community locally changed their PMID url:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Pubmedurl&action=history
The RFC one does work on en.wikipedia.org
I've requested the local change to be deleted on en.wikipedia.org.
Resolving this bug as INVALID since this is not a bug in the mediawiki software.
