But I believe the statute also indicates that the person leaking must know that the leak could result in physical harm to the person whose identity is being disclosed. If this chick wasn't undercover, how could her ID being disclosed do her any harm?

No, that is incorrect.

Intelligence Identities Protection Act

1) The disclosure must have been made by someone with authorized access to classified information.

2) The disclosure must have been intentional.

3) The person accused must have known the agent identified was a covert operative.

4) The person accused must know the U.S. means to conceal the agent's intelligence relationship.

Those are the requirements for conviction.
