 Hi @antonv and welcome to Trac.

 The GUID field should not be treated as a URL to a entity, although
 currently the guid field is normally a short-url, there's no expectation
 that it's a resolvable URL to the item.

 The GIUD field could be set as a real UUID or the md5 of the post and
 still be valid.

 Anytime you need to access the URL to a post type, you should be using
 `get_permalink()`.

 I'm going to close this as invalid, as although it's being set to
 different defaults based on where the post is being made from, there
 shouldn't be any expectation from a code perspective that it's a real URL.
