Comment (by OllieJones):

 I just checked the WooCommerce All Products panel in devtools.  It has the
 same HTML structure, in this respect, as the All Posts and All Pages
 panels. The posts (whether they are user-visible posts, pages, or in this
 case products) are shown like this.

 {{{
 <tbody id='the-list'>
   <tr id="post-123" class="a whole mess of classes" data-id="123>
      lots of columns about wp_posts.ID 123
   </tr>
   <tr id="post-125" class="a whole mess of classes" data-id="125>
      lots of columns about wp_posts.ID 124
   </tr>
   <tr id="post-126" class="a whole mess of classes" data-id="126>
      lots of columns about wp_posts.ID 126
   </tr>
   more rows of data
 </tbody>
 }}}

 The code I propose to repair looks for `id="page-123"` or
 `id="product-123"` rather than `id="post-123"` on All Pages or All
 Products panels, when populating the author field.  Testing with
 WooCommerce won't test the fix because its Quick Edit function doesn't
 present the `label.inline-edit-author select` dropdown for changing
 authors.
