Comment:

 Has been this way since Quick Edit was introduced in 2.7 (#8144).

 The problem is that `edit_date` is true by default:[[BR]]
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.3.1/wp-admin/js/inline-edit-
 post.dev.js#L238 [[BR]]
 And the condition for `$clear_date` in `wp_update_post()` is not
 satisfied:[[BR]]
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.3.1/wp-
 includes/post.php#L2693

 [attachment:19907.patch] brings the similar check and comment into
 `edit_post()`.

 [attachment:19907.2.patch] sets `edit_date` to false instead of
 `post_date_gmt`.
