Comment (by bobbingwide):

 The patch does not work for my non-hierarchical post type.

 I have 3 'fixture's with the same post title - Huntercombe GC. One for
 2014, one for 2015 and the latest, created after migrating to WP 4.4, for
 2016.

 IDs and slugs are: 14  huntercombe-gc, 492 huntercombe-gc-2 and 699
 huntercombe-gc-3
 Only post 699 has post meta _wp_old_slug. The value is 'huntercombe-gc'

 The current logic means I can no longer visit /fixture/huntercombe-gc
 It redirects to /fixture/huntercombe-gc-3
