In r44919 I've gone ahead and reimplemented bug 2585, so a page view for a nonexistent page will return a "404 Not Found" HTTP status code instead of a "200 OK".
Do links of type http://**.wikipedia.org/wiki/redlink to nonexistent articles really happen that often? They have to be typed by hand, or otherwise they will be action=edit&redlink=1, which redirects to a 404ing page only in English Wikipedia and some other wikis, not everywhere.
