Comment (by kevinB):

 I guess it comes down to a documentation issue for theme / plugin
 developers.

 Themes which use get_posts to display "recent posts" sidebars will be
 incompatible with plugins that do access control by query filtering.

 Themes which care to support such plugin functionality should use
 query_posts instead.
