Comment(by shidouhikari):

 {{{
 <?php

 global $post;

 echo '<p>$post before calling get_post($post):</p>';
 var_dump($post);

 $getPost = get_post($post);
 echo '<p>get_post($post):</p>';
 var_dump($getPost);

 echo '<p>$post after calling get_post($post):</p>';
 var_dump($post);

 ?>
 }}}

 Yeah, if get_post() receives global $post as parameter it bugs. Assigning
 global $post somewhere and later using get_post() to format it breaks the
 global variable.

 It's very rare to happen, but if somebody does it, other codes will be
 affected.
