After clicking OK in the Commit dialog.

This is after selecting the log for the file itself (after I'd restored it to
my working folder) and then attempting the above Revert command:
Command Merging revisions 2185-2184 of [path]
Error [path] doesn't exist in revision 2185

Well, I thought that deleting a file and restoring it would be reasonably
common and that I just didn't know how to do it.

This might or might not be relevant, but if I select Revert... on a later
version of the file in the working directory than the one I deleted, it
replaces it with the version I deleted.
