Comment:

 Very interesting issue, thanks for raising that. What values where you
 storing in post meta that you were trying to revision?

 I think {{{_wp_post_revision_fields}}} is meant to be used internally,
 hence the name starting with an underscore.

 Can you take a look at the way meta revisioning works in the latest patch
 on #20564 and see if this solves the issue you are having? With the code
 there your meta should be revisioned if it changes. A restore mechanism is
 also implemented.

 It would be helpful to have more people who need post meta revisioning
 testing this patch, and helping push it forward. I have a plan to refactor
 the code there as a plugin with a few core hooks, for now can you give the
 patch a try?
