 Yes, they're failing on the PR.

 perhaps it comes from current_user which might not be set for something
 like an import. This might be ok in that case. How does it show in the UI?
 Any issues when restoring the revision (I wouldn't think so because the
 author would become the current user)?

 The REST tests create the post in the setup where IIRC there isn't a
 current user set. I'm not sure if it is causing any breakage in the
 revisions screen, but does seem incorrect to me.
