Comment (by bedas):

 The patch here still does not grant consistent output and adds an
 additional unnecessary `if` check when we can just do this:
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/59613
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/5480

 There is no reason why we should return a ''string'' in any case. It
 disrupts dependant code, which then needs to "juggle" whether or not it
 receives expected input.
 Please see the link ticket which has been marked as duplicate.

 The patch committed here would nor resolve the issues this problem causes
 in dependant code.
