 * Currently when you restore the prior version of a post, all custom field data
   associated with the post is lost.
 * This needs to get fixed, so that all custom fields associated with a post are
   restored along with the rest of the post’s data.

 * Why are you using an old copy of WordPress? Were you aware that your site is 
   currently running a very real risk of being hacked. You need to upgrade WordPress
   asap.
 * Can you replicate the problem using the default Twenty Twelve theme with **all**
   plugins deactivated?

 * I have tested this with the latest WordPress Release (3.5.2) and the Twenty Twelve
   theme.
 * When you restore an older version of a post, the custom fields are not restored.
   The Custom fields for the post remain unchanged from the newest version of the
   post.
 * This is obviously a bug in WordPress that should get fixed.
