[wp-hackers] post processing weirdness

I agree.  There's some funny logic in get_permalinks, which is the
cause of crufty URLs on posts which were originally saved as drafts.

This appears to be simply a problem with the 'editpost' branch in
wp-admin/post.php, which is missing the appropriate SQL.

Patch against 1.5.1.2 (sorry, I'm not brave enough to run current SVN)
at:

http://dev.webadmin.ufl.edu/~dwc/tmp/permalinks-1.5.1.2.patch

I'm not going to claim that's the "best" way to accomplish things, but
it works in my tests.
