Comment (by westonruter):

 In [changeset:"41913"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="41913"
 Widgets: Fix previewing embeds in Text widget by allowing `parse-embed`
 admin ajax requests with an empty `post_ID` just as
 `WP_oEmbed_Controller::get_proxy_item_permissions_check()` allows.

 As of #34115 if there is no post context the oEmbed will be cached in an
 `oembed_cache` custom post type, so having a post as context is no longer
 a requirement for caching.

 Props biskobe, westonruter.
 See #34115, #40450.
 Fixes #40854.
