Basically the user had some older post types that didn't have all the indexes for the version at the time. Because of that, get code functionality was missing some values that were expected.
This could also help with future cases of undefined index warnings.
So, if we have a release that introduces new fields, either notify everyone right away, or do a scan of existing option values to notify.
