Comment (by georgestephanis):

 Minor correction on 42790.1.diff --

 patch line 303 -- `$GLOBALS['user']` should be `$GLOBALS['current_user']`,
 but it may be able to swap to `wp_set_current_user()` instead -- that
 function can take a WP_User object as easily as an id for the first
 parameter -- I forget if there was a reason why I hadn't done that.
