Comment (by magicroundabout):

 Thanks @swissspidy and @achbed for your input. I totally get what you're
 saying. Let's do this properly in 4.7. I like the idea of having
 `get_the_content( $post )` working properly too.

 @achbed, I'd missed your workaround. That's neat. Well, it's a hack. But
 you know what I mean. Thanks!

 You guys have a broader view of the WP codebase and potential other issues
 than I, so I'm going to leave it in your hands. Feel free to pull me in
 for help or testing if you need it. I'll keep a watch on the ticket.
