My build is more current, but I don't think anything's changed since Jan 2. Would you mind showing a more detailed recipe, including the file you used and the exact procedure to change the file behind Emacs's back? Also, how do you check that the mark is still active after the revert? I feel there are some fine details that are different between our attempts to reproduce the issue, because I cannot reproduce it no matter what I do. There's some factor here that I don't get. I hope it's not some stupid oversight on my part. > The trouble is now users have no idea what the active region is.

Well, if we are talking about users, why would a user invoke revert-buffer in such a strange way? And if the region is active, but not highlighted, doesn't "C-x C-x" show it highlighted? Anyway, let's delay this discussion until we understand what exactly is needed to reproduce the issue. Thanks.
