 Related: #35820 ("other bug I just reported").

 > Mind you, in the DB, 'name' should never be . Therefore such a query
 should return nothing. It doesn't' return nothing ;)

 `post_name` can be empty, and in fact is empty, in the case of post
 drafts. For this reason, I think the back-compat concerns are greater in
 this case than in the case of `0`, which can never be a valid post ID.

 > p.s. If there a reason why WP_Query() isn't in the component select
 below?

 It's "Query".
