Comment:

 [30159] breaks `Tests_Post_Template::test_wp_dropdown_pages()`.

 This appears to be a symptom of a broader problem. [30159] makes it so
 that page ancestors are fetched in all cases. But then page children are
 fetched as well with `get_page_children()`. This results in potential
 duplicates in the results of `get_pages()`. I haven't looked into it
 deeply, but it may be enough to do duplicate detection after fetching the
 results (though this may break pagination/`number`).
