Will attach screenshots showing the issue.

Both files were moved and I took a screenshot of the redirect page left behind
(&redirect=no)

One page only displays like a usual redirect [correct behaviour]; the second
page however shows a redirect and claims there wouldn't be such a file and that
you can upload it [wrong behaviour] like it is usually done when a file
description page exists but no file. So the second page seems "not to know"
that it is a redirect.

Note that also their GlobalUsage page ([[Special:GlobalUsage]]) differs (no
screenshots attached):
* First file with thumb:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalUsage/%C3%89lisabeth_Louise_Vig%C3%A9e_Le_Brun_%28French_-_The_Vicomtesse_de_Vaudreuil_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg
)
* Second file without thumb:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalUsage/Zoltan_Bathroy.jpg




For bug-searching, here is the content of the "wrong behaviour redirect":

No file by this name exists, but you can upload it. If a file used to exist,
try to purge this page's cache
#REDIRECTFile:Zoltan Bathory.jpg
File usage on Commons

There are no pages that link to this file.
