The offence at Asylum of the Daleks isn't the inclusion of a spoiler. It's — with no offence intended towards the writer, for I don't know who it is — poor writing. I mean, that's practically a run-on sentence to end the lead.

It also conveys no sense of the episode's notability. The key point about the inclusion of Clara is not what eventually happens to her in The Name of the Doctor, but rather that Steven Moffat and company scored a massive publicity coup by successfully preserving the surprise of JLC's appearance.

In my opinion, you've spotted relative irrelevancy in the lead of Asylum of the Daleks — not the breaking of spoiler policy.

Now, having said that, something like the back half of the last sentence of that lead could appear, if better written, in the "Continuity" section at the bottom of the article. But it's definitely not lead worthy.
