The current behavior, that new versions of images on commons make versions appear as unsighted does not scale, since for some images (flags, placeholder images, etc.) this makes it necessary to flag thousands of pages on several projects. Therefore, I think that new versions on commons should not make pages appear as unsighted. As a quick fix, a new message could be shown in the diff that tells people that the reason for the behavior is an image changed on commons. The current messages are very confusing and make people think this is a bug.
Treating different versions (due to images) as synced seems like incorrect behavoir. Perhaps some way to get these images sighted might be better.
Yes, but it is incorrect behavior that was deemed acceptable (in particular in light of the alternative as it is now) from the beginning by both Erik and me: We said to just ignore Commons. After seeing the confused reactions on de-WP I still say: As long as the change of an image on commons causes this much work on all projects with flagged revs, just turn that part off.
Done in r41567.

Did you purge the cache and diff?
Actually, this isn't really a bug. It still shows template changes on the diff, but what it shouldn't do is have the two draft and stable tabs.

This is back again. The sync check still needs a rewrite (which should cover this and 23415)
Commons files except from sync check in r68135.
