Scratch that, on closer inspection, the get_field( ‘block_links’ ) isn’t returning a post object but rather a post ID.

So, my field definition

	register_field_group(array (
		'id' => 'acf_page-extensions',
		'title' => 'Page Extensions',
		'fields' => array (
			array (
				'key' => 'field_5800d28886448',
				'label' => 'Block links',
				'name' => 'block_links',
				'type' => 'post_object',
				'instructions' => 'Select pages to display in link blocks.',
				'post_type' => array (
					0 => 'post',
					1 => 'page',
				),
				'taxonomy' => array (
					0 => 'all',
				),
				'allow_null' => 0,
				'multiple' => 1,
			),
		),
		'location' => array (
			array (
				array (
					'param' => 'post_type',
					'operator' => '==',
					'value' => 'page',
					'order_no' => 0,
					'group_no' => 0,
				),
			),
		),
		'options' => array (
			'position' => 'normal',
			'layout' => 'default',
			'hide_on_screen' => array (
			),
		),
		'menu_order' => 0,
	));

The retrieval code

$blocks = get_field( "block_links" );

Is returning a post ID rather than the post object.
