Comment (by jnylen0):

 We can remove this section from the docs now:  http://v2.wp-
 api.org/guide/problems/#authentication-errors-with-usersme

 PR with that change:  https://github.com/WP-API/docs-v2/pull/188

 The only other instances of `Location` headers in the API endpoints are
 when creating a post/user/etc, accompanied by a `201 Created` status code.
 This will not cause problems with CORS:

 Related, we should look at #37994 more closely.  I'll post repro steps and
 a patch if needed later today.
