 Tested on r15182.

 If the status of a post is set to Password Protected, and a password is
 not specified before the user clicks the OK button in visibility and then
 either publishes, saves, or updates the post, no warning is given to the
 user that not setting a password forces the post or page to remain Public.

 In fact, if updating a post, and this is the only change made, the success
 message (1) for updating the post appears instead, even though no change
 was made to the post.

 If the post was previously published as Private, and switched to Password
 Protected without entering a password, then saved, the post switches to
 Public on save instead of remaining Private.

 Either a failure message upon updating or a warning to the user before
 saving should be displayed to the user to remind them that they didn't
 properly set a password.

 To reproduce the last case above:

 1. Create a post. Publish it as Private.
 2. Edit the post. Change the visibility to Password Protected, but do not
 enter a password. Click OK.
 3. Update the post.
 4. The post visibility will be changed to Public.
