#26627: Regression: get_queried_object no longer working with pre_get_posts and
pretty permalinks

Component:  Query         |    Version:  3.8
 Severity:  normal        |   Keywords:
--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Plugin code to demonstrate the issue:

 {{{
 function test( $query ) {
     if ( ! $query->is_main_query() )
     return;

     if ( $query->is_category('uncategorized') ) {
         var_dump($query->get_queried_object());
         die;
     }
 }
 add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'test' );
 }}}

 Now visit /category/uncategorized on a default install with any form of
 non-default (pretty) permalinks configured.

 Result in 3.7, it dumps this object and dies:

 {{{
 object(stdClass)#95 (15) { ["term_id"]=> &string(1) "1" ["name"]=>
 &string(13) "Uncategorized" ["slug"]=> &string(13) "uncategorized"
 ["term_group"]=> string(1) "0" ["term_taxonomy_id"]=> string(1) "1"
 ["taxonomy"]=> string(8) "category" ["description"]=> &string(0) ""
 ["parent"]=> &string(1) "0" ["count"]=> &string(1) "1" ["cat_ID"]=>
 &string(1) "1" ["category_count"]=> &string(1) "1"
 ["category_description"]=> &string(0) "" ["cat_name"]=> &string(13)
 "Uncategorized" ["category_nicename"]=> &string(13) "uncategorized"
 ["category_parent"]=> &string(1) "0" }
 }}}

 Result in 3.8: The is_category check returns false and no object is
 dumped.

 Removing the is_category check reveals that the get_queried_object returns
 NULL.

 Note that switching to default (ugly) permalinks restores the expected
 behavior. Also note that using the ?cat=1 style URL gives the expected
 behavior even with pretty permalinks enabled.
