Comment (by jnylen0):

 There is at least 1 plugin out in the wild that does this incorrectly...
 and it's by "WP REST API Team" and we [http://v2.wp-api.org/guide/plugins/
 officially promote it].

 Presumably the console worked at one point, so whenever it stopped working
 was a BC break.

 Also, if the people most familiar with the API made a mistake here, how
 can we expect other WP devs not to make the same mistake?
