It's a lot more likely that those authors intended to write a supernatural spin on historical events from the start, but their publishers were allergic to putting the fantasy label on, and decided to bill the books in the more respectable historical fiction subgenre instead.

I don't see why this is a more plausible explanation? Fantasy does just fine as a genre, and YA fantasy is even more popular. (I mention YA in particular because the book in the secret is YA.) If the publisher didn't want a fantasy novel, they 1) would not acquire one in the first place or 2) would ask for revisions to get the historical novel they supposedly DO want, according to you. I don't know where you get the idea that historical is more "respectable", or that publishers prefer "respectable" to "sells a lot of copies".

What? How is that "a lot more likely"? Fantasy is a popular genre. Publishers aren't "allergic" to labeling a book fantasy if, you know, that's what it is.
