Fantastic. I already have a tool up using it, it's not user friendly.. it's really just a tool meant for other tools to use.
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/cgi-bin/deletedimage.py?hash=f85b9e4a404...
hash= sha1 hash of the content of an image file. Wiki is a comma split list of databases to check.
If a file with that hash has been previously deleted the tool will list it.
There is a IRC bot which uses this now. It is in both #wikipedia-en-image-uploads and #wikimedia-commons-uploads2 which watches new uploads and will alert if a file which is bit-identical to a previously uploaded image is uploaded.
Its output looks like:
