It seems this problem is not specific to revert-buffer and undo. It partly is and partly isn't. Yes, you can mistakenly edit the version header with any commands. But what's specific to undoing the revert is that you are particularly likely to edit the version header that way, and not even know you are doing so. Shouldn't we mark the $Id$ version header read-only ? Then you could not delete the header.
