Comment (by ryan):

 Have these plugins ever worked when editing a post over xmlrpc?  edit_post
 means "this post object has been modified in some way", not "this post was
 edited via the edit form".  I believe edit_post was added in
 wp_update_comment_count() and other places to help caching plugins
 invalidate dirty objects when a post is changed.  Either way we go we're
 going to break someone.  Since edit_post has always been issued when doing
 xmlrpc editing (where there is no edit form), I'd rather not change it's
 meaning now.
