Comment (by solarissmoke):

 I think we should be checking whether the post type supports comments
 before setting the comment status to `default_comment_status`, and if it
 doesn't, set it to closed.

 I'm thinking in particular of older themes which don't use
 `post_type_supports()` in their comment handling code. They could get
 confused if comments are open on a post type that doesn't support
 comments.
