The gallery view is nice!! I don't know how I missed it - I thought I had tried it, and it just went to the same place as the file link.
As for the file link, presumably it was chosen because something like <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:FilePath/Universe%20Photo.svg> is the IRI that used to represent the image in RDF exports, according to the information on the Wikibase RDF Dump Format page; and so presumably also the IRI that one should get from the direct-access and download versions of the query, to provide the full image as linked data.
On the other hand ,for interactive use, it's often very helpful to be able to see what's on the File page at Commons; but there's no way to click back from the full-resolution image to the Commons page, without manually re-writing the URL every time. Also, as mentioned before, the full-resolution image may often be a lot too much -- often very big, so very heavy to download.
(It may even indeed be a legal requirement to be able to easily get to the licensing and attribution image on the file page, under the terms of the various CC licenses that demand that images are only made available with attribution. So strictly speaking at the very least the linked data service should probably be making available some attribution URL + some license URL if it is providing the bare image URL. But that may be something that will have to wait for the full roll-out of Structured Data on Commons).
