Comment (by nacin):

 I remember digging through this when this ticket first came up (or maybe
 on Twitter, in IRC, etc.), and came to the same conclusion, that this was
 fine to change.

 What I suspect happened is post_name was set to `''` during the
 development of [12987], because before the changes to wp-includes/post.php
 in [12987], it was necessary to avoid an empty slug for a title of "Auto
 Draft". By the time it was committed, though, it no longer needed to be
 overridden.
