Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 > we should probably recommend a patch upstream to WordPress core to
 handle this more elegantly for all missing objects

 It's worth noting that the Options API does this with a `notoptions`
 cache. It's weird and unique, but it solves this exact problem in a way
 that probably shouldn't be as unique as it is.
