Frankly I don't see why "Oh no, the public knows I'm using ImageMagick to
render my images" is such a big deal that it would be necessary to inject
userrights checks into Special:Version, which AFAIK we have never done.

If you don't want people to see version information don't enable the feature,
end of story. There are other ways to check what version of software you are
running than asking MediaWiki to tell you what you installed and configured.
Before this bug came around MW wouldn't even output that information, so I
don't see why you need to enable it if you don't want other people to see it.

Special:Version isn't a sysadmin tool, it's a page for the general public to
see what is running.
