This seems to be a side effect of T154698: Prevent contributions attributed to private and WMF IP addresses:

tgr@terbium:~$ mwscript eval.php --wiki=mediawikiwiki
> $passwordReset = new PasswordReset( RequestContext::getMain()->getConfig(), \MediaWiki\Auth\AuthManager::singleton() );

> $status = $passwordReset->isAllowed( new User);

> return $status->isOK() ?: Status::wrap( $status )->getMessage()->toString();
Your IP address is blocked from editing. To prevent abuse, it is not allowed to use password recovery from this IP address.

I'm not sure why it works on the English Wikipedia, which should suffer from the same issue.

I cannot reproduce this anymore in a private browser window with the two links provided in the task description.
Can you? Or should this task be closed as declined?

Uh, sorry, I forgot about this completely :(
Still reproducible from the WMF network.
