Comment (by henry.wright):

 I've traced the issue back to the use of the {{{$authordata}}} global,
 which is used inside {{{get_the_author()}}}.

 Dumping {{{$authordata}}} in the author template and then visiting a
 user's archive I get either an object of type {{{WP_User}}} (for users who
 have posted) and {{{null}}} (for users who haven't posted).
