We would end up with a Managed_DataObject if now match was found

meaning we'd return for example a Notice with empty id (translated into 0)
and thus Faves coming in from remote instances where the fave'd notice was
not found would result in faving the first Notice in a table-wide search,
i.e. often the first post on the instance.

Whoopie!
