 Suppose user A publishes a private page that gets used as a stub. And user
 B publishes a public page whose parent is the private page.

 I'm not sure if that is really part of this bug, it's more of a behavior
 question that is opened by any fix to this bug. All child pages, if
 "public" should really inherit their status from their parent (otherwise
 what's the point of having them hierarchical if they do not). With the
 patch I submitted you can have future pages be parents as well, but again,
 their children should really not be allowed to be public until the parent
 is (otherwise you'll get a "chicken and egg paradox"). Neither of these
 were problems before as you "couldn't" have a non-published page be a
 parent.
