That was me Gurch. I've created an account here.

I would like the "Permanent link" hyperlink in the left sidebar toolbox to show
the title field like it previously did before r45343 to SkinTemplate.php.

I agree with what MeekSaffron said.

And regarding bug 16428, oldids still aren't visible when printable=yes. So
perhaps if or when oldids do become visible in the print version footer, then
the devs can prettify the printfooter permalinks.

These both look nice:

If you don't want to undo r45343, perhaps an additional line could be added to
the toolbox so it displays:
Short permament link ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=260905624
Titled permanent link --->
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=260905624

If the software treats all permalinks the same, could it be modified to
distinguish between untitled and titled permalinks (or toolbox permalinks and
printfooter permalinks)? I apologize if I've crossed bugs at all, or if my
suggestions merit a new bug report.
