When a post was deleted but there was a link going to it, the system would jump to the next non-deleted post for that board and not change the URL, so it looked like the non-deleted post you were reading was the deleted one.
Now if you hit a link to a post that was deleted, you get a message informing you that the post was deleted and giving you a link to the next non-deleted one.
To see it in action, try going to this deleted post: #msg-457578
