It's not a theoretical problem, it's a real one. You said yourself that two 
such suppressions have occurred. This 
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Security_for_developers/Architecture#What_are_we_trying_to_protect.3F>
 makes it pretty clear on what we need to protect suppressed content, and the 
fact WDQS doesn't is a security issue (hence the bug).

The solution I proposed in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T105427#1448872 is 
rather simple and automates what the legal team apparently wants to do manually?
