Comment (by afragen):

 After discussing this with Peter the solution seems to be adding another
 element to the query. As such the example given to developers should
 probably be something like the following to account for differences that
 might occur between `get_post_by_title()` and using `WP_Query`.


 {{{
 $query = new WP_Query(
  array(
   'post_type'   => 'page',
   'title'       => 'Sample Page',
   'post_status' => 'all',
  )
 );
 }}}
