All revisions of a talk page get patrolled automatically after sighter's/sysop's edit. Example: http://als.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Kleines_Wiesental&diff=177991 Revision #1 was un-patrolled, revision #2 is just an edit. The edit marks both revisions as patrolled, removing the red mark (rcid); but without producing any log entry see bug 16913 ;-) This behaviour is different from the behaviour for content pages and different from the former Patroller extension behaviour. The normal FlaggedRevs behaviour, that should also apply here, is: 1. Non-sighter edits page 2. Red mark (rcid) appears 3. A sighter makes an edit without having seen/checked the previous changes of the non-sighter 4. Both edits stay un-sighted 5. Both revisions have to be sighted explicitly Also revisions of non-content pages should be patrolled explicitly, as especially on talk pages vandalism/spam could creep in and stay in easily the way it is now. See also bug 16375#c11.
Correction of number 5.: Of course *not both have to* be sighted/patrolled, the latest would be enough; but in a explizit/manual way, not automatically like now.

That doesn't matter here, because the fix for bug 16862 isn't live yet ;-) It's the same with User:Matthead for example: http://als.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Grosser_polnischer_Aufstand_von_1848&action=history
Does this still occur as of now?
(In reply to comment #4) > Does this still occur as of now? > Bah, not synced yet
Note that this not only occurs for talk pages, also for [[wikt:de:Wiktionary:Auskunft]] e.g. (former IP edits get auto-patrolled through an pure edit too, no log entry is produced at all).
Fixed in r45589
