Description

My watchlist on the Hungarian Wikipedia (Show Wikidata edits in your watchlist is ON) incorrectly says that this item was deleted. But in reality, the item was just merged and its deletion (and other) log is empty. The issue is also re-creatable on the English Wikipedia; add Ann Walker of Lightcliffe to your watchlist, turn ON Show Wikidata edits in your watchlist and check your watchlist.

At least in English, it doesn’t say anything about an item being deleted:

It links to the deletion log, which is confusing, but the corresponding message correctly says that the item was redirected. Does the Hungarian message say something different?

No, it does not. But the deletion log can contain only delete and restore actions which still should not be on the watchlist.
