A method for bypassing access restriction is solidly in the category of
"security bug".

The fact that it was possible to bypass access restrictions. The
currently-merged patch solves this by requiring 'edit' in order to delete. It
would work as well to add an additional access restriction for delete directly.

While fixing bug 12343 might well be a good thing, it wouldn't solve the
security hole here: the attacker could delete the page and then undelete all
except the revision they're trying to revert.
