 Right now, metaWeblog.newPost calls wp_insert_post before:

 * Attaching media uploads
 * Set/unset sticky
 * Set custom fields
 * Set post formats

 This is probably done since all those actions need the post ID, but it can
 break some plugins that rely on the publish_post action hook since the
 post is not complete at that point.

 The idea is to make it behave more like wp-admin:

 * Save the post as 'auto-draft'
 * Attach uploads, set custom fields, ...
 * Update with proper status
