Hmmmm, that's disappointing that they haven't fixed that bug yet. I believe that bug ought to be ticketed already, I'm pretty sure I reported it and talked to BertH about it late last year.

Anyways, yes, routing the URL's through index.php is a quick fix/patch for the problem, especially if done by a bot task. In hindsight, I'm not sure it's the smartest idea since it makes the wikitext look messier and is not proper usage of interwiki links. But it's better than having broken links, I think.
