Comment (by bradyvercher):

 I disagree with the characterization that the existing behavior is clearly
 a bug. In the majority of APIs I've used with an `offset` parameter, it's
 been a zero-based implementation, so every time I used it in `WP_Query`, I
 considered that the intended behavior and worked ''with'' it, not
 ''around'' anything I thought was a bug. I'm sure most developers working
 with it were under the same impression, which is why it took 6 years for
 anyone to bring it up.

 In any case, I haven't looked into how `WP_Comment_Query` and
 `WP_User_Query` handle it, but would those need to be updated as well if
 they exhibit the same behavior?
