Why does Google play hide android.permission.VIBRATE for some apps?

Viewed 746

I've noticed that a couple apps on the Play Store are able to make my device vibrate despite not having the VIBRATE permission displayed when installing the app. For example the following game is able to make my phone vibrate if I hit a wall. Here's what I see when installing it:

However, when I look in settings, I can see that the permission has clearly been declared: enter image description here

Is there a special way of achieving this, for example, an additional manifest xml tag, or is this supposed to be an error on Google's end?
