What we really need are links on local projects to the deletion log on Commons for the "no such image" pages... there's nothing like a redlink to make people ask "Whoa! What happened to that image?", but unless they can find a reason (cf. the deletion record on Commons saying that something was a copyvio) they're going to get angry.
The red link behaviour is quote awful in my opinion, too. I'd like to mention, just in case, that CommonsTicker also tells a reason why an image was deleted. So it's always a good idea to tell the reason when deleting as file.
