Comment (by boonebgorges):

 > Not sure that's actually true, because in this situation $author =
 $authordata->user_nicename; never actually worked when post_author=0,
 $authordata is not an object and $authordata->user_nicename; is just NULL,
 so my change just leave it the same but with the added bonus of not
 throwing a PHP Notice :-)

 Right, I didn't mean "worse than it currently is". I meant that we'd be
 setting a precedent that, in some cases, the permalinks are different by
 design :)

 Let me think about non-pretty permalinks for revisions. If anyone else has
 thoughts about potential compatibility issues, please chime in here.
