Comment (by duck_):

 Replying to [comment:6 nacin]:
 > I looked at [3430] and wp_xmlrpc_server::login(). I feel like
 get_currentuserinfo() should call wp_set_current_user(0) in the
 XMLRPC_REQUEST branch. That would mean that wp_get_current_user() would
 always return a WP_User object, which it does in literally every other
 situation.

 in XML-RPC, I think that's just fine. $current_user should never be null
 after calling get_currentuserinfo().

 I was thinking along similar lines. Maybe even explicit
 wp_set_current_user(0) in WP::init() so we can be sure that the
 $current_user global is always a WP_User object.

 Looking at the code it would require that get_currentuserinto() switches
 to using the exists() method too.
