Comment (by daniloercoli):

 I started a new post  on my dashboard. I set the publishing date to 30
 April and saved it as draft.
 This is the dump from the db:
 '114', '2', '2011-04-30 10:39:54', '2011-04-30 10:39:54', 'this is the
 content', 'Title of a draft post scheduled', '', 'draft', 'open', 'open',
 '', '', '', '', '2011-03-30 10:42:20', '2011-03-30 10:42:20', '', '0',
 'http://localhost/wordpress31rc3/?p=114', '0', 'post', '', '0'

 The post is marked as draft, and the publishing date is correctly set.
 I reopened the draft post and clicked on the schedule btn. the post status
 is changed to "future" (will be live on the blog in the future).

 I think we cannot set the status to "future", for a draft post (post
 status = draft) that has the publishing date set to a future datetime.
 This post will be "live" on the blog at the defined datetime. The user has
 explicity set the post as draft, so we can't change it.
