Closing this bug as INVALID as I don't see how the API (or any other part of MW
for that matter) is at fault here.

First, list=recentchanges lists the stuff Special:Recentchanges lists, and
filters it by the given criteria. The fact that some people use rctype=new to
mimick Special:Newpages behavior doesn't mean that rctype=new should behave
like Special:Newpages. Second, while the data in a list=recentchanges entry was
accurate at the time the entry was created, that doesn't mean it still is. All
the entry quoted in comment #0 means that the specified user created a page
with the specified title (which at that moment had the specified page ID) at
the specified time, which is fully correct. When moving a title, the page ID
doesn't change, so that's your best bet when trying to identify the current
title of the page in question. If the page ID is non-existent, the only
explanation is that someone deleted the page, possibly after it was moved.
Also, the deleted page could have been recreated.
