 Replying to [comment:20 pento]:
 > This is so that old links don't break, if the slug is changed.
 > The bug in this ticket is if a post slug is changed, then a new post is
 created with the old slug, it still redirects, instead of stopping at the
 new post.

 Should I be raising a separate ticket where, IMO, the _wp_old_slug should
 not have been created in the first place when the new post changed from
 "pending" to "published" ?
