Comment:

 That one is tricky...` edit_post()` calls `wp_die()` when there is an
 error. In AJAX mode, `wp_die()` kills the error message and returns -1
 (which list table JS doesn't handle too well right now, it just prints
 it). I don't think the behaviour of `edit_post()` can be changed because
 it is used in many places. We could:

 - Just print a generic error response when the response is -1 (not very
 helpful to the user IMO)
 - Add JS validation to the inline-edit form
 - Change the inline-save procedure to call `_wp_translate_post_data()`
 manually and return any errors before calling `edit_post()`

 I don't know which (if any) is a good idea.
