Deleted photos appearing on (wiped) iPhone / iPad devices after 17.5 update

This is NOT from Apple and Apple should make a public anouncement about the bug, if it’s not intended. it’s disappointing that Apple only vaguely explains this issue in the changelog.

Yeah, the Files app explanation from Reddit seems unlikely to me. I’ll be interested to see what Apple says about it.

My money’s still on it being iMessage related, but it could be as simple as Photos database corruption due to power loss or something.
