Since v1.4, adding in an article a category with a name containing a single quote is broken. the article is not added to the given category but with to a category name in which each single quotes (%27) are preceded by a backslash (%5C%27). Exemple: * http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_cat [Test cat] is not added to http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%C3%A9gorie:Abc_l%27edf but to http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%C3%A9gorie:Abc_l%5C%27edf
The same problem affect the links table.
The problem is not only when creating an article but occurs when modifying an article too.
Created attachment 188 [details] Temporary hack for LinksUpdate.php REL1_4 The category title seems to be incorrectly double-strencoded when written to the columns categorylinks.cl_to and searchindex.si_text, but is only strencoded once for writes to cur.cur_text, old.old_text and cur.cur_title. When CategoryPage.php looks for articles, the category title is only strencoded once. The attachment only fixes writes to categorylinks.cl_to.

Probably related to bug 1297

Large number of related problems introduced by a misunderstanding in upgrading that file.
Now fixed in 1.4 code. Have done a quick job to fix up the links tables on wikimedia sites; searchindex will update gradually.
Works for me. Thanks.
