Handling of system messages got strange

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi there,

we are using MW 1.14.1/59249 (Lenny, Apache 2, mySQL 5.0.51a-24, PHP
5.2.6-1) since January without big problems.

http://wiki-de.genealogy.net

Only from the last week we suffer from a strange MW behavior, we can not
understand what does it cause and what did it trigger:

(Some!) System messages from the MediaWiki namespace are shown as

<MESSAGE_NAME>

e.g.:
- - the title of main page: <pagetitle> and <pagetitle-view-mainpage>

or correctly converted (in article text area) as

<MESSAGE_NAME>

e.g.:
- - in Special:Login - <Loginstart> and <Loginend>

Another phenomenon was, that MediaWiki:Signature was not set, so from
one day to the next ~~~~ began to deliver <signature>.

This is for emptied system messages or such untouched since
installation/updates.

But they should be delivered from the system with default values?!

We did not do any maintenance actions, especially for db- or
language-maintenance.

$wgUseDatabaseMessages is still true.

Creating/editing wrong working messages heals the situation.
But we don´t know, where all over lurk (much?) further ones to annoy us?!


Any suggestions? Crying for help ;-) and thanking in advance

I found nothing special on http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/ , and I have
seen such behavior on Wikipedia for few times -- maybe it's just a
temporary software error?

This is because I healed obvios places.

At least one example remains:

http://wiki-en.genealogy.net/Special:BookSources

Is it possible that during update language files got corrupted?

Conceivable. Try re-copying the files.
