This explains the problem. Fundamental mode does not run any hooks, therefore evil can't be enabled again. Evil does several tricks in order to ensure that evil is enabled in fundamental-mode buffers when they are created, but functions like revert-buffer are not handled. This is probably not so easy to fix (one could advise revert-buffer, but there may be other functions ...)
FWIW, I consider this a bug and have reported it some time ago as GNU Emacs bug #9214: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.bugs/49753 Maybe if some of you follow up we will at least get a reply from the maintainers. ;-) -- Štěpán
