Comment (by DJPaul):

 This came from a Slack discussion, see nested conversation here:

 > The REST downgrade is interesting in that I think the point was always
 that those two user objects be clones of one-another, so however that
 variable is being nerfed, it should be bubbling back up to
 $bp->current_user, I would have assumed.

 These aren't objects, like @dcavins shows above.

 As per the report, this downgrade is done in `rest_cookie_check_errors()`.
 This happens late - after `init` - I think this occurs during
 `parse_request`, so it's after BuddyPress initialises its initial
 settings.
