Comment (by scribu):

 Also note that `get_query_var( 'post_type' )` can return an array. That's
 probably something most plugins aren't prepared for either.

 So, my suggestion is that they should decide what they want: the post type
 of a certain post or the post type from the query vars? In the unlikely
 case when they would want both, they can just call both functions.
