Comment(by greenshady):

 There are two reason I'm against having the author template load other
 post types.

  * We've never loaded anything but the `post` post type before.
  * Custom post types are "custom."  We should not make assumptions about
 how a site owner wants them displayed.

 I do like the idea of showing specific post types on *my* author archive
 but that's because those posts fit in well there, and this is easy to do.
 It might not be ideal for others.

 Also, unless something has changed, you should not get a 404.  You should
 be getting a no posts found message.
