Comment:

 After a long digging, the issue is caused by another software that has set
 the global variable $current_user. So, it's not a Wordpress bug. It's a
 global variable name collision.

 If there's an enhancement that can be made, that would be to rename global
 variable by adding a prefix like WORDPRESS_GLOBAL_

 And maybe (or surley) it's not worth it...
