Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 Hi @bugnumber9 thanks for the bug report.

 This happens because current WordPress does not revision post meta and the
 page selected theme setting is stored in meta. See #20564. A possible
 workaround for now is to install this plugin (which I need to update):
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-post-meta-revisions/ and then whitelist
 the `_wp_page_template` key using the provided filter. If we get meta
 revisioning in core, we can include this field by default.
