[HTTPS-Everywhere] Wikipedia rule seems to be broken when following link from Google search

When using Google to search for a term and a returned Wikipedia link is followed, the result is incorrect.

Example:

(Assuming a US-based environment) follow the link https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=email+storms&ie=UTF-8

One of the first hits should be "E-mail storm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia".  Follow this link.

It resolves to:

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia/en/wiki/E-mail_storm

However, It should resolve to:

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/E-mail_storm

Regards,

James Parker
