Comment:

 Looking at [attachment:26706.2.diff], seems like if 0 is passed to
 `wp_set_current_user()` that it will eventually return false itself.

 So why not use a default of 0 on the `validate_auth_cookie` filter and,
 simply pass it to `wp_set_current_user()` once instead of twice with the
 check?
