Comment:

 Thank you. I was able to reproduce this issue.

 1. I added `define( 'ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true );` to my `wp-config.php`.
 2. I scheduled a post to publish in one minute.
 3. I loaded the frontend after the scheduled publish time, and in the
 footer (and in the error log) I saw:

 >  PHP Warning:  Cannot modify header information - headers already sent
 by (output started at /var/www/src/wp-includes/template-canvas.php:13) in
 /var/www/src/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1534
