Probably, yes.
One common way for spammers to abuse wikis is to intentionally get the
pages deleted, so that they live on permanently in the revision
history.
See this example from today:
It's rightfully deleted as spam:
http://wiki.winehq.org/SheriOci
But the "Get Info" link leads you to the old revision, with the
linkspam intact:
http://wiki.winehq.org/SheriOci?action=recall&rev=1
I don't know if there's a way to keep Moinmoin from preserving
revision history on deleted pages, but it might be sufficient to
simply disable that. I doubt there's much useful history on deleted
pages anyway.
