This is a known issue. The player secrets are stored in a different way
that makes versioning them along with everything else much more complex. We
decided to leave it out and go as-is rather than trying to get it perfect.
After all, the versioning as it stands now is much, much better than
nothing at all. We hope to add player secrets to the versioning some time
in the future, but we're not sure when.

Ah. I had assumed, given the way they are formatted, that they were merely special versions of "GM Only." Thanks for the info!

Not sure how familiar you are with database storage, but the difference is
that the player secrets are a "one-to-many" relationship with the Wiki page
(or character or whatever). So, there's only 1 GM-only field, and can be
stored directly on the object. But there can be any number of player secret
fields, so they have to be stored separately. Cramming them into the
version package will be a little tricky. I've got some ideas on how to do
it, but none of them are easy.
