Yuck, this is all very messy as there are a lot of conflicting assumptions
being made and broken.

Under the assumption that a red link should point you to the place you can make
that link blue (or create the image), and the assumption that
$wgUploadNavigationUrl points to the page you can upload at, everything is
fine. I imagine this is the case almost everywhere.

What this bug seems to assume is that a redlink takes you to the place that a
deletion log is visible - which is conveniently enough the same as the place
you upload on Wikipedia (but not everywhere? - perhaps that should be fixed
also?).

Wikipedia importantly breaks the assumption that $wgUploadNavigationUrl points
to a place you can upload - not sure the best way to fix that and still let the
upload button at the left hand side work as Wikipedia wants - probably to
define yet-another configuration variable specifically for that left-side link
(that defaults to $wgUploadNavigationUrl), or create a simple
extension/javascript hack that allows wpDestFile to be used on WP:Upload
