Comment (by westonruter):

 Oh, what's more, is that the existing logic is wrong even in the ideal
 case because `$prepared_post->id` shouldn't ever exist. The valid property
 is `$prepared_post->ID` because
 `\WP_REST_Posts_Controller::prepare_item_for_database()` returns a
 faux-`WP_Post` object, not a post object prepared for the REST API
 response.

 I see this was also caught by @abcd95 in https://github.com/WordPress
 /wordpress-develop/pull/11327
