Comment:

 @giantrobot Thanks for the report, and welcome to WordPress Trac!

 After some discussion during a recent bug scrub, we came to the following
 conclusions:

 - The current behavior is, indeed, bad.
 - The most sensible behavior is to 404.
 - This can probably be done by swapping `absint()` with `intval()`.

 The larger problem of `absint()` (ab)use through core should be handled on
 a case-by-case basis.
