Comment (by jeremyfelt):

 Thanks for that information, @garubi.

 One report with 5.2.4, one with 5.2.6. No PHP version is specified in the
 other forum thread. When I tested on PHP 5.2 earlier, it was 5.2.17. I
 don't have a 5.2.4 or 5.2.6 VM at the moment—and slow internet for 2 more
 days. :)

 The PHP 5.2.9 release notes specify - `Changed __call() to be invoked on
 private/protected method access, similar to properties and __get().` via
 [https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42937 PHP bug 42937]. It's somewhat
 confusing (to me) as to whether this applies here or only when those
 protected methods are defined in a sub class, but it seems like it could.

 I've attached
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/29692/29692.diff
 29692.diff], which unsets `$wp_roles` and then starts over.

 This seems to be the only place in core where we're using a protected
 `_init()`. `install_blog()` is also the only place in core trying to
 access it.
