I too think that that policy is too narrow. It lacks one essential
point: "use common sense". That ought to do the trick.

There are no logs (maybe in the future?). You should ask people from
en.wp how do they deal with their own admins. It is about social
engineering, not about a technical one.
If the logs show that several people have accessed th page how can you
know which one was responsible for the leak?

Stuff that is worth leaking should probably be oversighted since that
is what the tool was made for.

Oversighting is covered by a specific policy
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Oversight and (at least on English
Wikipedia) Oversighters won't go outside of it (at least, anymore).
You would be agast to know what they'll decline to oversight.
