Comment (by mordauk):

 Modifying the global `$post` was breaking tests and, in hindsight, is
 probably really dangerous, so
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/30970/30970.2.patch
 30970.2.patch] is an updated version that does not modify `$post`.

 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/30970/30970-tests.patch
 30970-tests.patch] includes some simple unit tests.
