Comment (by kurtrank):

 I just ran into this as well. I found that some post types were not
 showing the last modified author and instead defaulting to the original
 author that created it. From my testing it seems post types that do
 **not** have legacy meta boxes do not set `_edit_last` in the database, so
 I would guess that step is missing from the REST API function that saves
 post data.
