Wrong. The attached patch below fixes that.

lib/WikiUser/File.php:

   new File_Passwd($this->_file->_filename, ...
=> new File_Passwd($this->_file->filename, ...

The rest is caused by the empty filename.
I'll release a 1.3.12p2 with this fix soon.
Have to check the other errors too which you reported. I can reproduce
them here.
