Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

Just noting that similar errors also happen in many other wp-includes/*.php and wp-admin/includes/*.php files.

However, ​this is not a security issue, nor is it something that's intended to be "fixed" as it's not encountered during "standard usage". If WordPress is used on a production server, error displaying should be disabled, and/or direct access to the PHP files in the above directories should be disabled.
