Event DeletedPage gives me wrong PageLink when emptying wastebin

Question

I wired up the DeletedPage event in my Global.asax like this:

DataFactory.Instance.DeletedPage += this.Instance_DeletedPage;

And my handler:

    private void Instance_DeletedPage(object sender, PageEventArgs pageEventArgs)
    {
        DeleteCustomerRoles(pageEventArgs.PageLink);
    }

When I move a page to the wastebin, nothing fires of course since it is moved. When I delete the page from the wastebin - the event fires and I get the deleted page's PageLink in pageEventArgs.

But... When I instead select the wastebin and clicks on the "Empty wastebin" button, I get the PageLink corresponding to the wastebin - not my deleted page!

Is this a feature or a bug? I see that there is some sort of list of linked pages on the page object in the pageEventArgs, but I assume that all pages that are deleted (even children) will trigger the DeletedPage event. Is this not true?

Ok, this seems to be a known behaviour:

Although there is a setting to revert some of the peculiar behavior, the wastebin part of it remains. I find this really odd, but it seems I'll have to look elsewhere to find a workaround for really getting to know when a page is deleted, regardless of how.
