Comment(by azaozz):

 This is possible but all has to be done while opening the uploader (saving
 the post as draft, reloading the page or updating the ID with AJAX and
 then opening the uploader). It may be done with js but is not
 straightforward. And this should happen on the dashboard too for
 QuickPress.

 Was thinking of more generalized solution, perhaps having an empty "auto-
 draft" for each user that will be opened when visiting the write screen or
 the dashboard. If the user doesn't save the draft it will be reused next
 time. When it gets saved or published (i.e. doesn't exist) new one would
 be created again. That way all negative post IDs will be obsolete.
