My previous attempt to reproduce this bug used a non-alphanumeric
ASCII character. This is not currently considered to be a valid
value for rootpage, although for a "do what I mean" approach, perhaps
we should accept it and pass it through titlepage() or linkpage().
Using Chinese characters (which are considered to match [[:alnum:]]
even though the Chinese script is not, strictly speaking, an alphabet),
as in the original bug report, reproduces the bug.

This is one of several possible bug reports on
"doc/bugs/About %2F problem" (I'm not sure what the actual bug being
reported is).

This hopefully fixes a race condition in which the test failed
around 6% of the time.
If we don't wait, the mtime (which is rounded down to 1 second precision
in the APIs we use) will not necessarily change, so the update will not
necessarily cause the page to be refreshed.
