Comment (by nitesh.luharuka):

 This works perfectly. The problem persists with 4.7.4 as well.

 > It needs to be noted that you cannot use the loop methods like
 `get_the_title()` but you can easily call `$p->post_title`. I do not
 believe the filters are applied to these so you may need to use a
 different object for the backend than the frontend since the issue is only
 on the backend of WP.

 > Also, you could just use the same args with `get_posts();`
