Hi,

There was a discussion that seems to be related to this issue in
bug#33458.  And here's something that Martin Rudalics said at the time:

These others may have been deleted as well so I think that remaining
at the beginning of the dired buffer is more predictable here.  Note
also that the next or previous filename may depend on the order in
which filenames are shown - what if reverting changed that order?
