 This one looks a bit like ticket #13982

 Here is what happens :
 - I have created a custom post type that doesn't support the 'author' when
 registering it (with register_post_type)
 - I am doing an inline edit of a custom post authored by another user
 - the custom post author defaults to current user (ie the one who is
 performing the inline edit instead of the one who authored it)

 This behavior is different from what you see with post type of post where
 inline edit wouldn't change the post author.

 To debug it further, I have enabled the 'author' during the custom post
 type registration and the problem isn't there anymore in that case. So it
 is probably linked to the fact that 'author' wasn't entered in the
 supports array entry during the custom post type registration.

 I am not sure if this is a bug or expected behavior but it would be nice
 to be able to have a common behavior accross post types weither 'author'
 is supported or not.
