 Install this:

 {{{
 <?php
 /*
 Plugin Name: Write Page Load
 Author: Mark Jaquith
 */

 function cws_write_page_load_admin_init() {
         add_action( 'load-post-new.php', 'cws_write_page_load' );
         add_action( 'load-post.php',     'cws_write_page_load' );
 }

 add_action( 'admin_init', 'cws_write_page_load_admin_init' );

 function cws_write_page_load() {
         global $current_screen;
         echo "<br /><br />"; // Grr, admin bar
         var_dump( $current_screen);
 }

 }}}

 Go to new page screen. It properly outputs this:

 {{{
 object(stdClass)#159 (6) { ["id"]=> string(4) "page" ["base"]=> string(4)
 "post" ["action"]=> string(3) "add" ["post_type"]=> string(4) "page"
 ["is_network"]=> bool(false) ["is_user"]=> bool(false) }
 }}}

 Edit an existing page. It outputs this:

 {{{
 object(stdClass)#159 (6) { ["id"]=> string(4) "post" ["base"]=> string(4)
 "post" ["action"]=> string(0) "" ["post_type"]=> string(4) "post"
 ["is_network"]=> bool(false) ["is_user"]=> bool(false) }
 }}}

 That seems wrong. {{{$_GET['post_type']}}} is not set, so it seems to fall
 back to "post"
