Comment:

 This change has broken `get_pages()` with `child_of`, it now returns
 duplicates, as I suspect it's pulling from the ancestors for siblings or
 something.

 [attachment:14477-41-broken-ut.diff 14477-41-broken-ut.diff] contains a
 unit test that shows the expected output, and the output I'm seeing on
 4.1.

 This has a knock on effect to anyone using `wp_list_pages()` and
 `child_of` as suddenly they'll get pages showing up at each level
 duplicated.
