Comment (by bobbingwide):

 Just been talking to johnbillion at #wpldn contributor day.
 Apparently #29714 is a duplicate of this defect.
 Interestingly the workaround that I documented doesn't work
 but I have applied my patch to 4.1-beta2 and it works for me.

 He also suggested that I should point out that Nacin's patch would lead to
 the same side effects that I was getting with the first version of the
 workaround. Rather than change $pagenow it should be copied to another
 variable and then the tests be performed using the copy.

 So, the challenge that now remains is to create some form of unit test
 from my source code.
