Comment (by jdgrimes):

 I've gotten this error occasionally on a site running PHP 5.6 as well.

 This error actually has nothing to do with WordPress. Here is
 [https://www.bram.us/2014/10/26/php-5-6-automatically-populating-
 http_raw_post_data-is-deprecated-and-will-be-removed-in-a-future-version/
 a good read on it]:

 > tl;dr: ... Perfectly good code will spit out that error whenever it
 receives a request that has a (non-`application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
 encoded) payload. To fix it, explicitly set the value of
 `always_populate_raw_post_data` to `-1` in your `php.ini`.

 Note also that:

 > Unfortunately it’s not possible to override this value using `ini_set`
 ..., so one actually has to set it in `php.ini`.

 So there is absolutely nothing that WordPress can do about this.
