Comment (by hlashbrooke):

 @netweb OK - that makes sense - I thought the unit tests must have existed
 somewhere from previous work on the exporter, but the tests obviously
 never covered this area.

 In terms of switching to WP_Query instead of raw MySQL, I'm not sure I
 fully understand why that's a problem, but if it really won't work then I
 could remove that from this patch and just stick with the UI changes here.
 That wouldn't be ideal though as the MySQL queries get a lot more complex
 at that point and I know I struggled to get them working and performant
 before I switched to using WP_Query.

 Is there no way to work around the issue where some content types won't be
 exported? I haven't experienced any issues with this yet myself, so it
 would be helpful to know exactly what the issue is and what doesn't get
 included so I could see how we can work around it in here.
