 > Yes, I can reproduce it. I noticed that this only happens in the admin
 area — the sticky posts are not displayed at the top there. When I try the
 same WP_Query on frontend pages, the sticky posts appear at the top as
 expected.

 Very nice spot! Now I can truly reproduce the bug I was willing to
 reproduce originally, I might close this report, and open a new one to
 provide the full information and avoid confusions.

 Still, I'm not 100% confident that this behavior is ideal (admin-level not
 being able to reproduce the listings to my requirements). I think that the
 admin hindrance should be removed.

 So I will be leaving this open this for further opinions on this topic.
