Comment:

 This was due to #44591. The reason this worked previously is that Core was
 previously passing on `null` to `get_post`. But we now check if a post ID
 was provided to avoid a PHP error.

 Instead of forcing a `do_not_allow`, the post caps could fallback to the
 global post to restore this behavior. Flagging this for @SergeyBiryukov to
 provide his opinion as well. However, given that this code would have been
 generating PHP notices for years, I personally don't think we should
 introduce more magic to this function.
