I think it is still discoverable because adding random data leads to the following two distributions:
Attacker gets secret wrong, page is size: original page + (zero to fifty) + length of incorrect secret
Attacker gets secret right, page is size: original page + (zero to fifty)
With a sufficiently high number of observations the attack with the right secret has a mean value that is lower than the attack with the incorrect secret.
At least that's what it appears to me. I could be wrong.
