Comment (by rishabhwp):

 My bad, I should have dug into the issue more carefully before jumping to
 that conclusion. The filtered author dropdown and the ability to change
 its value through the DOM led me to assume that it was a client side
 validation issue in the gutenberg component. I now understand that client
 side validation would only fix the specific scenario described in the
 issue and not the broader behavior that also exists in the classic editor
 and through data dispatch or other interfaces. I will be more careful
 going forward.
