Comment (by swissspidy):

 `get_post_type()` returns the post type of the global `$post`, which can
 be a different post depending on where exactly on your page you are
 calling it and depending on what kind of posts the author has written.

 Not sure what else you would expect from that function on the author
 archive..?
