Redirect errors (google webmaster tools)

Google Webmaster Tools show the following crawl errors, due to redirect errors. The first one I can understand, as its a German translation and google bot cant find that while it should be possible for Google bot to index articles in other languages.

The next two seem malformed, so something seems wrong there.

/forum/showwiki.php?title=Island:125611
/forum/showwiki.php?title=Island:125611&ltr=P
/forum/showwiki.php?title=Island:125611&amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_ amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_ltr=P

AFAIK, VaultWiki doesn't make any URLs with &ltr= in them. Does Google tell you what page is creating the URL? If Google is making up the URL itself, it's possible that it is making it malformed. I have seen Google do similar things in the past, like not heeding base URLs, and then complaining that links are broken.

I am encountering multiple instances of this behaviour. Here is one page that has this:

/forum/showthread.php?t=46020

This one has 72 variations of this:

/showwiki.php?title=something&amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_ amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_do=comments&amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_a mp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_page=1
/showwiki.php?title=something&amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_ amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_do=comments
/showwiki.php?title=something&amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_ amp_amp_do=comments&amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_amp_p age=1

Weird stuff.
