So what is currently the suggested action from the users? Keep going through the faulty WUs, or don't bother?

Looking at a tcpdump of my traffic to ateroidsathome.net, and trying the URL in a web browser, it seems that instead of the WU's data, the server provides just the 39-byte MD5 sum. Going by the presence of "Content-Location" header and its contents, I'm guessing this is caused by a misconfigured mod_rewrite in apache..?
