Comment (by GaryJ):

 Your patch would provide a graceful fallback - but if anyone's using
 `current_user_can()` to check permissions for a different `$post`, and
 also forgets the second argument, then it hides the notice, and may
 actually give incorrect permissions, which may be considered worse than a
 PHP Notice.
