It doesn't. It really isn't a bug, a watchlist is supposed to show edits made to pages, not log entries. However, I can see why you wish this feature would be added to the watchlist, but it's not a bug. :-)

why would it be a bad idea? Because people would delete too much? Or that they would not use the simper process of PROD as a first resort? I;m much more concerned of their using Speedy as a all-purpose resort.

even when logged out. Is this all done locally?
That goes to nfd_nomForDel() which is defined at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Quick-delete.js and included in common.js on Commons.
We could *easily* make something exactly like this (to "AFD this article") available to everybody on en.wikipedia but I really think it would be a bad idea.
Out of curiosity... (my test MW wiki is off right now or I'd try this...)
If someone deletes an article on your watchlist, the deletion event does not show up on the watchlist, correct?
I'm inclined to think that this is a bug...
