Comment (by ticktockphoto):

 Just seeing this is a 5 yr old post after submitting my find. For those
 looking for a temporary solution, I'm using an htaccess rule, which
 honestly would be frustrating to do for hundreds or thousands of password
 protected posts, but does work.

 Example in the case of my site and ticket
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/36370 my solution is as follows:

 redirectmatch 301 ^/aiden-joseph-leto-1-month-pictures/(.*)/$ /aiden-
 joseph-leto-1-month-pictures/

 This allows the password protected page to be seen while child pages
 redirect to the parent page. Hopefully anyone else finding this issue can
 use it as a temporary fix until we have an official patch/feature added
 for this.

 Cheers,
 Tom
