 The subject is Handling POST Requests
 ([http://codex.wordpress.org/Handling_POST_and_AJAX_Requests]).

 As described at a forum post ([http://wordpress.org/support/topic/327586])
 post.php should issue an action event like admin-post.php do.

 You have to provide some strange workarounds to redirect the request to
 admin-post.php that issues your action. Then you have to do some
 workarounds again to let post.php handle its parts of the request.

 A really easy and useful solution would be issuing an action in post.php.
 Then no workarounds are needed. By the way it would be perhaps useful to
 use a hidden input field named custom_action istead of action. Then there
 is no needed to restore the original action in the custom action hook.
