Yes, I think this is a common issue with mediawiki and php..
The path is the following:
/srv/sail#php  maintenance/update.php
From maintenance:
include(__FILE__/../../foo)
Or something like this..
But maintenance is located in /usr/share/mediawiki1.10 so this resolves to:
/usr/share/mediawiki1.10/foo
Which leads to the first wiki..

I have a testing package of mine that I use for setting up multiple wiki that 
does not have this issue, you may want to give a try.. ?

Other solution is to, temporaly or not, reproduce a full mediawiki 
distribution with the second's configuration files and launch update.php from 
it..
