Another problem based on the same test ZIM file made for the comment above, is that the Article title are not displayed properly in fulltext search page results

This is a bug of Wikimedia mobile-html REST endpoint, I've opened a ticket there, nothing to do in mwoffliner: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T390705

Title is fine when using WikimediaDesktop renderer:

@benoit74 Thank you for the analysis, in this specific case, I would like that we consider to build a workaround for the time being. Is that reasonably feasible?

Why? This is not really impacting the scraper for now (only when using WikimediaMobile, which we do not expect to use for now) and this is clearly a WMF bug (even a browser opening the page does not achieve to render the page title).

But, yes, doable of course
