Comment (by rodionov201):

 In WordPress version 6.2, it has been observed that using a classic theme
 with sticky posts can lead to duplicate queries in WP_Query. This issue
 seems to arise because the post_type variable passed to the sticky sub-
 query is an empty string in the initial run, causing different cache query
 keys to be generated. Given the complexity of the bug and the solutions
 being proposed, what would be the most efficient method to resolve this
 issue while ensuring backwards compatibility? Additionally, could
 implementing a default post type when none is specified, as suggested in
 recent discussions, effectively prevent such discrepancies in future
 versions?
