Steps to reproduce the issue
Using php in an iframe. I was previously able to get the user id with
define( 'JEXEC', 1 );
define( 'VALID_MOS', 1 );
define( 'JPATH_BASE', realpath(dirname(__FILE).'/..'));
define( 'DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'defines.php' );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'framework.php' );
$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication('site');
$mainframe->initialise();
$session =& JFactory::getSession();
$user = JFactory::getUser();
but since upgrading, I get a "Failed to start the session because headers have already been sent" on pages that were working fine before.

since the code posted seems to have been cropped by github, just to test, tried 3.5.0 without any patch with the following code and it worked.
To test, i created a file in the joomla root folder test.php with the following content
<?php
define( '_JEXEC', 1 );
define( '_VALID_MOS', 1 );
define( 'JPATH_BASE', realpath(dirname(__FILE__)));
define( 'DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'defines.php' );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'framework.php' );
$mainframe = JFactory::getApplication('site');
$mainframe->initialise();
$session = JFactory::getSession();
$user = JFactory::getUser();
// dump values
var_dump($session);
var_dump($user);
?>
I am closing this at this time due to lack of response

The answer though is you need to call $session->initialise
Can you test this 943f2e9 fix please? I think it's a session bug we just fixed
