Description
I noticed this when one of the editors made a change in a page and also changed page template.
We reverted the change by restoring a previous revision, but this didn't restore the previous page template.

Hi @bugnumber9 thanks for the bug report.
This happens because currently 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_templatekey using the provided filter. If we get meta revisioning in core, we can include this field by default.
