Could this be changed, so that on the history list, the top/newest link, too, would be the respective "oldid"-link? (The link to the article tab should stay generic.)

An oldid is not assigned until the revision is saved into the old table. Hence, you see, the problem.

Ugh. I suppose there's no way to change that and save the revision into the old table immediately? Or don't really save it but at least assign an oldid that can later be used when it does actually get saved?
