Description:
Let's say a user uploads a file, the file is deleted, and the account is then renamed. When looking at Special:Undelete for the file page, the "File history" log entry shows the uploader's old username, while the "Page history" log shows the new username.

An example is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Undelete/File:Pekmez_poster.jpg:

File history

The file was deleted in 2009; the user was renamed in 2010. "Posuur" is the new username.

I've checked a couple other renamed accounts' deleted file histories, and the same issue persists.

I'm not sure if this occurs when a file is deleted *after* the user's rename because I haven't yet found an example for that.
