There should be no multiple installs of media wiki on the server (except the sandbox, see below). Maybe the install files were put in a subfolder or something and then left there after install, but as far as I ever updated anything, it was always with the latest MW version. Same concept as updating a Txp install. Having said that, it was Ruud who updated the wiki install last time (he graciously fixed the thumbnail problem in the gallery views too), so if you have any questions about multiple installs, he would be a better person to ask (last touched, kind of thing).
As I remember it, there were already multiple installs before I upgraded. I never touched the other ones. It’s likely that I created a README or UPGRADE text file there to document what I did during the upgrade. This was 2 years ago. Since then, there were one or two migrations. I don’t think I have access anymore.
My guess is you can safely upgrade the wiki with the newest install and that much will be fine. Being it’s an old install, it might also address the character problem after the upgrade.
And if not, file a bug with the mediawiki developers. Maintaining a local patch set is far from ideal when you have to upgrade.

File a bug for an obsolete version?

No, file a bug if it still happens after upgrading to the latest version ;)

Hey, Nicolas. Just realized you’re in Strasbourg. Damn, I never thought I’d see the day another Txp user was in Strasbourg. That calls for a drink sometime. Hit me up on the twit channel: @wion
