Sorry to post again, another thought on this:
It would probably be useful to reduce the comparison to the set of users with no non-deleted edits. Who care if someone spoofs a deleted user?
We can expect that, say, [[User:Jimbo Wales]] won't actually have any edits on the majority of our wikis. Does that mean there's no need to check for spoofs of that username?

I'll be putting up the merging UI for localization & testing tomorrow.
