Comment (by hellofromTonya):

 After thinking about impacts on users and talking with @azaozz, I think
 Option 1 is the right way forward.

 Though the magic methods introduced a BC break, that happened 9 years ago.
 Fast forward to today, plugins are (and have been) using that code. I
 think the current code is the yardstick for determining if the new fix is
 a BC break or not. Using that yardstick, Option 2 would be a BC break to
 the current code and thus could/would impact users.\

 @antonvlasenko I'll review https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/4905 tomorrow with the goal of committing it this week or
 next.
