It does deal with them by showing "view source" tabs instead of edit tabs above
a protected page,

So? This happens for redlinks inside articles too.

That means not showing the tabs at all (a suggestion you repeat below), which
is pretty confusing, especially for the article/talk tab.

Recommend WONTFIX: hiding these tabs doesn't accomplish much and will only
confuse people.
