Um... the RewriteCond turns down requests for URLs like
   pmwiki.org/?action=diag
   pmwiki.org/?action=edit
I'd remove the RewriteCond.
Or, if the RewriteCond should indeed stay (that's essentially a question 
of what you want, not a technical one), you could remove the QSA here 
because the RewriteRule isn't going to be invoked with a query string 
anyway.

You don't need an index.php if the first RewriteRule is in place and
working. The request will be short-stopped and returned with a 302
status to the browser before Apache even cares to look whether there's
an index.* file in the directory.
