Description:
During initialization, GlobalConfiguration.initializeWmfSettings() encounters error parsing InitialiseSettings.php to extract the value of wgContentNamespaces.
The problem is that it expects namespace values to be numeric but we now have
symbolic values such as NS_MAIN. The exception also causes the parsing of
wgMetaNamespace and wgMetaNamespaceTalk to be bypassed.
A patch for this bug will be pushed shortly.
Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
Those should be all in includes/Defines.php
Though, not sure if you want to parse that everytime, so maybe doing it manually (as it's added to infrequently) might be alright..

Yes, I saw that but rather than parse yet another PHP file I decided to hardcode the core list of 16 values in the code, (especially since the comment in Defines.php strongly warns against changing those values) e.g.
static final private HashMap<String, Integer> nsmap = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
static {
nsmap.put( "NS_MAIN", 0 ); nsmap.put( "NS_TALK", 1 );
nsmap.put( "NS_USER", 2 ); nsmap.put( "NS_USER_TALK", 3 );
nsmap.put( "NS_PROJECT", 4 ); nsmap.put( "NS_PROJECT_TALK", 5 );
nsmap.put( "NS_FILE", 6 ); nsmap.put( "NS_FILE_TALK", 7 );
nsmap.put( "NS_MEDIAWIKI", 8 ); nsmap.put( "NS_MEDIAWIKI_TALK", 9 );
nsmap.put( "NS_TEMPLATE", 10 ); nsmap.put( "NS_TEMPLATE_TALK", 11 );
nsmap.put( "NS_HELP", 12 ); nsmap.put( "NS_HELP_TALK", 13 );
nsmap.put( "NS_CATEGORY", 14 ); nsmap.put( "NS_CATEGORY_TALK", 15 );

The exception this bug causes can be found in log/log-all file on the search
indexer (probably on the searchers too) and looks like this:
Error reading InitialiseSettings.php from url file:///a/search/conf/InitialiseSettings.php : For input string: "NS_MAIN"

Yay, thanks!
