 Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open up a post for editing, and make some changes to it. Do not save
 the changes.
  2. Open up the same post for editing using a different user account (in a
 different browser![1]) and click the 'Take over' button when you get the
 post lock modal.
  3. Note that the post that loads is not the most recent autosave of the
 post, but equally importantly you are not shown the message stating this.
  4. Reload the editing screen and you'll be presented with the "There is
 an autosave of this post that is more recent than the version below."
 message.

 ![1] The simplest way to do this is to use an Incognito browser window
 (and [http://wordpress.org/plugins/user-switching/ User Switching]) so you
 can be logged in as two accounts simultaneously.
