Comment (by sabernhardt):

 Thanks for the report and for the patch!

 Plugins can replace the `get_userdata` function (and/or `get_user_by`). In
 case the custom function returns an unexpected type, could checking
 whether `$authordata` is an object be a better condition?
 {{{
         if ( is_object( $authordata ) ) {
                 $author = $authordata->user_nicename;
         }
 }}}
