Comment (by dd32):

 Replying to [comment:4 rollybueno]:
 > There's no check in place to see if the `user_pass` key exists in
 `$userdata`. It only assume it exists by default. If we intend to make it
 required, we should add a check and throw WP_Error in case it's missing.

 Yeah.. but that's very different to the claimed ticket description, and
 arguably, PHP Warnings are a valid outcome - Pass junk data, receive junk
 reply.

 That's very common with most low-level WordPress functions, there's an
 assumption that if you're using the low-level function, you're passing
 correct data (and have the correct permissions).
