Comment (by redsweater):

 I confirmed that the existing behavior of wp_editPost is correct, because
 the author field for the content is implied as the logged-in user, and
 doesn't need to be mapped from the legacy MetaWeblog-style content struct
 to the internal $post_data['post_author'] field.

 The attached tests TestMetaWeblogChangeAuthorToSelf.patch not only confirm
 my fix to mw_editPost but also add a test to wp_editPost to confirm the
 existing correct functionality for the modern wp_editPost API.
