Custom Post Type posts missing from co-author archive

I have installed version 3.2.2 of Co-Authors Plus.

I have created a custom post type that supports author. With Co-Authors Plus activated, I can set a guest author on a new CPT post and the author name is correctly displayed on single pages when the post is rendered.

When I browse to /author/guest-author-name, instead of showing the author’s CPT posts, I get a 404 error.

If I create a new (standard) post and assign the same guest author as above, that post is returned when I browse to /authors/guest-author-name, but the custom post type post is not.

Repro Steps:

• Create a new, empty site
• Register a “Writing” custom post type that includes author in the supports array
• Install and activate Co-Authors Plus
• Create a new Guest Author named “Boris Nikolaevich”
• Create a new Writing and assign Boris Nikolaevich as the author
• Create a new Post and assign Boris Nikolaevich as the guest author
• Browse to /author/boris-nikolaevich

Expected Behavior:

• Both posts are shown

Actual Behavior:

• The Writing post is not shown

Bonus problem:

• Delete the Post (or remove Boris Nikolaevich as an author)
• Return to /author/boris-nikolaevich

Expected Behavior:

• Some messaging to indicate that the author has no posts

Actual Behavior:

• 404
