Ideally none (there's watchlist for that), or only one notification (about the
rollback) as with the new user message bar.

I quite disagree on this, because Special:Notifications shows messages that
don't actually exist (they've been removed from your talk page, possibly even
deleted or suppressed?): this seems way more confusing and mysterious to me,
and it's a regression.

Of course I can't help finding an implementation, but I wouldn't think the
underlying database so important: the notifications special page and flyout
should just check if the message actually exists before showing it,
independently from its presence in whatever table. For this bug, in most cases
it will be enough to check that rev_sha1 is not the same after JarJar's edit as
it was before it.
