After following up a lot of red herrings, I finally tracked this down
to a single character in MediaWiki:Linktrail. This should end
"(.*)$/sD", but somewhere along the line that $ has been escaped,
giving "(.*)\$/sD" - so instead of looking for an end-of-line, it's
looking for an actual dollar-sign. This gives the amusing but not
particularly useful effect that adding a dollar sign at the end of a
link will activate the feature on that link (and disappear the $)

In other words, all you need do is change
http://www.music-wiki.org/MediaWiki:Linktrail to be the same as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Linktrail by deleting the stray
\

The actual Language.php definition seems to be correct, so I can only
think that the escaping is being done automatically by whatever script
puts the messages into the database (to create the MediaWiki:
versions). Anyone know where this might be, and if it's been fixed
already for clean installs?

This was OK in my version (1.3.0beta5) so I guess it has been fixed.
