Not just redlinks. External links need to show as external links, and a page that links to itself needs to be a black (non-)link. Same as the normal wikitext editor preview.
PDF links were also missing the PDF icon in NWE, although I'm not certain whether that case counts as the "same issue" or a "different issue".

Not really, we can just use the same code we use in VE's CE surface. It'd be nice if we did T39902: RFC: Implement rendering of redlinks in Parsoid HTML as post-processor eventually, though.

It would also be nice if disambiguation page links showed up as orange in the preview. This way if you are (for example) editing the real-time ridesharing article on the English Wikipedia, if you add [[Uber]] you will now that you have to add [[Uber (company)|Uber]] instead.
