@Xaosflux That was my +2, apologies. Would changing postedit-confirmation-restored back to The page has been restored. be sufficient initially? I don't recall the message saying "published" (but then again, I can't recall ever really looking at that popup..)

That seems fine, it can still be a little misleading (say for cases where you load an old version, also make new changes, then publish it) - but its much less misleading then talking about (un)deletion - so the prior behavior is probably the best fix right now -- splitting exact prior revisions restorations from derivative prior revisions publications could be explored elsewhere.
