This is vulnerable to vandals with sock-puppets:
sock-puppet A vandalizes page sock-puppet B reverts to non-vandalized version sock-puppet C reverts to vandalized version sock-puppet B reverts to non-vandalized version sock-puppet D reverts to vandalized version sock-puppet B reverts to non-vandalized version -- oops, page is protected as vandalized version
