I think I've figured out what the problem was. Here's a piece of my 
farmconfig.php (that I've now modified, hopefully fixing the problem):

----------------------------------------------
// Modify page library search so that Site/-pages are available in all 
// fields.
if(true) {
  $WikiLibDirs = array(&$WikiDir,
                       new PageStore("$FarmD/shared.d/\$FullName"),
                       new PageStore('$FarmD/wikilib.d/$FullName'));

  // Force use of directory shared.d/ for edits to the group 'Site'
  $group = FmtPageName('$Group', $pagename);
  if((($action == 'edit' || $action == 'attr')	&& ($group == 'Site' ||
	                                            $group == 'SiteTest' ||
                                                    $group == 'Profiles'||
                                                    $group =='Playground'||
                                                    $group == 'PmWiki' ||
                                                    $group == 'Test')) ||
     ($action == 'approvesites') ||
     ($action == 'approveurls')) {
    $WikiLibDirs[] = $WikiDir;
    $WikiDir = new PageStore("$FarmD/shared.d/\$FullName");
  }
}
-----------------------------------------------------

What I noticed was that these pages were saved in wiki.d/, rather than in 
shared.d/.... So for instance, we have both:

	wiki.d/Playground.PasswordProtectedPage
	farm.d/shared.d/Playground.PasswordProtectedPage

Where wiki.d/Playground.PasswordProtectedPage is created when I edit the 
attributes....

Unfortunately my fix above doesn't cause PmWiki to store the file in the 
right place when I edit an attribute. Not sure why though...
