Comment(by dd32):

 On a robots request, WordPress appears to make a SQL request for the same
 as it would on a Home index page.

 handle_404() throws a 404 if there are 0 posts matched.

 Ideally, WordPress should not query the database for posts on robots.txt
 requests.

 I'll commit a change to display the robots.txt page with 0 posts, but I'd
 prefer to see something happen about that Querying.. It might require an
 extra internal request var, along the lines of 'plugin-handled-no-404' or
 something.. Pure thoughts there.
