On the old wikitext editor, clicking a redlinked article that has previously been deleted gives me clickable information at the top including the deletion log for the page and a line I can click that takes me to a page showing deleted edits. On the new editor, clicking a redlink immediately goes into the full editing interface, with the "view X deleted edits" line greyed out and not clickable, and no mention of the deletion log. I can't figure out how to click the "X deleted edits" line without manipulating the URL, and would appreciate being able to see the deletion log.

Sam, are you still seeing this? (You can go to Help:Sample page#World literature and click the red link to test.)
Nope, did the behaviour get changed? :)
I hope so. Unless it's the change that means that I can't hand-edit the URL to avoid the new wikitext mode (which copes very badly on <translate>d pages right now), in which case, I hope that they un-fix it and try a different approach. ;-)
Thanks for the update. If it breaks again, then please come back and let me know.
This is still funky. When I search for a deleted page and click the Redlink I get taken into the page editing interface straight away again.
I can't reproduce this at mw.org today, so I'm hopeful that this means it will be fixed everywhere as soon as the deployment train reaches all the wikis.
This is still fixed at mw.org, and still broken at enwiki and other non-test sites (go to w:en:WP:RA/NS and click any red link to test).
