Comment:

 Unless a post has revisions, the screen options and links won't show up.

 It sounds like in your case you simply hadn't saved the post since
 removing all the revisions, resulting in no revisions to actually link to.

 Can you verify that upon deleting all from the database (FYI: You might
 want to check for orphaned postmeta rows now) and hitting save a few times
 with content changes that the Revisions links/options show up again?
