New description:

 WP_Post->post_author should be a INT not a STRING.

 If you have following Code

 {{{
 $post = get_post(123);
 if($post->post_author !== wp_get_current_user()->ID)
    echo 'Not your Post';
 }}}

 it will always fail (printing "Not your Post") because
 wp_get_current_user()->ID is (as I would expect) a INT but
 $post->post_author is a STRING.

 The WordPress Codex and also the inline PHP Documentation says that
 post_author is a INT.
