I don't think this is accidental, either. We know that wesen and grimms have worked for the royals at various times, so neither are unknown to kehrseite authority. We also know that royals, wesen and grimms have signed charters in the past.
So I think what probably happened at some point was a formal agreement in which the royals, who at the time were the kehrseite authority, agreed to keep their people in the dark about wesen (because humans have a tendency to reach for the pitchforks even if their leaders tell them not to) and the Wesen Council agreed to keep wesen from using their woge to prey excessively on kehrseite, with the grimms doing most of the field work and reapers being used to keep grimms from going off the rails.
Somewhere along the way this arrangement got fuzzy, possibly when royals lost their power, but the bones are still there. Even today's non-royal governments, when facing a wesen uprising, continued to keep the existence of wesen secret and tried to recruit grimms. Wouldn't surprise me if the Wesen Council and HW had maintained a communications channel before the Council was massacred.
