Comment:

 Confirming, I noticed this same thing yesterday whilst cleaning up some
 users in a bbPress install.

 This came from [34000]/#6405, the cause is
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 admin/users.php?annotate=blame#L215 wp-admin/users.php#L215] and
 `'post_type' => 'any` because with `WP_Query` if the post type is set to
 `any` and the post type was registered with `exclude_from_search` as
 `true` (which bbPress does for all 3 CPT's registered) then WP_Query
 excludes these posts from the query. Hence the "Attribute content to
 another author" is not shown because the bbPress posts are excluded from
 the search.

 Note: Also need to check how this has or has not changed for Multisite
 ([https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 admin/includes/ms.php?annotate=blame#L1057 /wp-
 admin/includes/ms.php#L1057])
