To me, [[!/TimeUnderChaos]] refers to a page in the current group.
Essentially PmWiki doesn't see a valid group name before the page
name, so it treats it as relative to the current group.  I don't
know that this is likely to change.

There's an argument to be made that [[!/TimeUnderChaos]] should
be equivalent to Category.TimeUnderChaos, and we could make that
work if we needed to (although this is what [[!TimeUnderChaos]] means).

At any rate, I don't see [[!/TimeUnderChaos]] as being "broken",
so it's not likely to be "fixed" in a way that would break its usage.
