Comment:

 [attachment:27795.diff] is a patch I was working on that makes use of the
 existing auto-draft -> draft conversion which takes place inside
 edit_post() (line 206-208), this also avoids an unset index notice in that
 same block (`$post_data['post_status']` is unset on 206 in this case).
 I've added extra context to the patch to see that logic.

 SergeyBiryukov's patch does exactly the same thing really, it just happens
 in a different function,
