Comment (by sc0ttkclark):

 I'll work up the unit tests, etc.

 I think at the same time, what should be happening is the global $post be
 set from setup_postdata too, since setup_postdata sets all other globals,
 but leaves out the $post global itself.

 I further propose we add a global $post set from the $post variable sent
 to setup_postdata, and after the local $post is setup if ( ! ( $post
 instanceof WP_Post )
