Q: Navigating to the edit mode of a not-exist page produces a strange error message

Visiting meta.tex.stackexchange.com/posts/2603 produces "404 error" but visting meta.tex.stackexchange.com/posts/2603/edit produces "There is a pending suggested edit in the queue, try again in a few minutes." Is it a bug? When attempting to visit the page (not in edit mode): When attempting ...

deferred by all means is rejected.

never seen deferred becomes completed.

Anyway, seeing wrong message in a place we should not reach in the first place isn't that bad, kind of discouraging us from doing this ;)

OK, let's move on

@Oded nothing in the code indicates it was changed on purpose? Or one of the dev team?

@rene already moved on

@ShadowWizard nothing I can see. But there are at least (!) 3 different projects involved.

And me not really knowing the feature all that well adds to not being sure what "normal" looks like.

No, just the truth. While you are a kid, you aren't a parent -- thus missing 50% of the experiences.
