Comment:

 This is being caused by `_close_comments_for_old_posts()`, which uses
 `post_date_gmt` to work out when the post was published. But for drafts
 this is always set to 0, so the post always appears to be older than the
 max age threshold.

 I'm thinking that the filter should only apply to published posts... see
 patch.
