 WP_Query queries for non-existant pages result in is_404() = false &
 is_page() = true

 For example:
 {{{
 $query = array('pagename' => 'this-is-a-404-page');

 $query = new WP_Query($query);

 var_dump($query);


 ?>
 object(WP_Query)[223]
   public 'query_vars' =>
     array
       'pagename' => string 'this-is-a-404-page' (length=18)

   public 'query' =>
     array
       'pagename' => string 'this-is-a-404-page' (length=18)
   public 'request' => string ' SELECT   wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts  WHERE
 1=1  AND (wp_posts.ID = '0') AND wp_posts.post_type = 'page'  ORDER BY
 wp_posts.post_date DESC ' (length=137)
   public 'posts' =>
     array
       empty
 }}}

 This is not a regression, Tested in 3.0 and 2.9. To me it doesnt make
 sense for a instance of WP_Query to not reset the conditionals after a
 unsuccessful request.

 This does not affect front end, as the WP Class is responsible for
 determining that WP_Query has returned nill results and 404'ing.
