For my, the error received was "Last attempted database query: (SQL query hidden) - Function: LocalFileRestoreBatch::execute" - I was not able to purge the cache in two different browsers (FF & IE) and needed another sysop to complete the deletions. What appears is only the image on the page, no page history, no image history, just the most recent image.

Example in comment 0 seems to work correctly now (but I cannot check the deletion log).

Does this only refer to files on English Wikipedia, or are there also examples for "bad files" on Commons? Is there any chance

As https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:ImageRemovalBot/badfiles was last updated on 28 February 2012 it would be good to know if new cases of this problem are still created or not.
