#12969: save_post action hook called before post-new.php is loaded

 Since r12987 new posts/pages are being saved into database as auto-drafts,
 this means that the save_post action hook is called as post-new.php is
 loading ({{{$post = get_default_post_to_edit( $post_type, true );}}} on
 line 55).

 Unfortunately any plugin or theme following the
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_meta_box#Example codex]
 on adding meta boxes may run into trouble with nonce protection. Whenever
 a user goes to create a new post/page myplugin_save_postdata (function
 from codex example) will be called (because of the save_post action).
 However, the custom nonce will not exist since  the function to create the
 meta box hasn't been called.

 I guess best fix might be just to change the instructions.
