Comment (by nacin):

 Replying to [comment:6 obenland]:
 > Nacin, would this be something to consider for 3.5? It seems rather
 straight forward.

 I thought this was trunk for a long while. Guess not.

 It seems straightforward, but it can fail if is_author() is true, but the
 queried object is something other than an author, which could occur for
 more complex queries. like tax + author, etc. We'd be querying
 is_user_member_of_blog() for the wrong ID. So I'm going to hold off on
 this for now.

 I'd be surprised if a developer on WordPress.com hasn't run into this
 issue, if this is already deployed there in some form. Or, maybe they have
 a more resilient fix. (Not sure either way.)
