Blender Version
Broken: all

Short description of error
When editing multiple object UV maps, hiding only affects the active object and 'reveal hidden' only works for active object.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
open blender.
duplicate default cube in object mode.
select both cubes.
go to UV editing tab.
enter edit mode.
move one of the cubes UV map to the side.
press A to select all UVs.
press H in the UV editor to hide all UVs. Make sure to hide the UVs in the UV editor, not the mesh.
Congratulations, you found the bug. only one of the UVs will be hidden. And you won't be able to hide the other one in the UV editor whithout going to object mode and changing the active object.

Now to test 'reveal hidden'

Keep in mind the expected behavior:
go to object mode select only one of the cubes, go to edit mode, hide part of the UVs in the UV editor(do not hide not the mesh, hide the UV!). You will see that blender simply deselects the faces in 3d view that you told it to hide the UVs. This is expected. If you alt H to unhide, it will simply select all the geometry in 3d view and show all UVs. This is also expected, but it does not work in multiobject mode.

Time for testing
reopen blender.
duplicate default cube in object mode.
put it to the side.
select both cubes.
click the UV editing tab.
enter edit mode.
move one of the cubes UV map to the side.
in the 3d view Deselect one face of each cube so that they'll be hidden in the UV editor.
press alt H in the UV editor , it will only unhide the faces(reselect in 3d view) of the active object.
