Comment (by masquerade):

 I found the culprit, in copying code over I missed out on two lines that
 copy $_POST['content'] to $_POST['post_content']. Inconsistent naming is
 great. :)

 In the process, I also realized that updating the post could overwrite
 things like the ping status with the default because they are not sent
 along with the autosave, and so if someone is editing a draft where they
 changed these settings they could be lost. I personally would rather we
 not send all this information along in the autosave, so my first thought
 is to patch wp_insert_post to use the old values instead of inserting the
 defaults, as this makes sense to me for plugins that may want to update a
 post with wp_insert_post. Thoughts?
