 The issue is that a scheduled post's categories are dropped when it's
 published. check_and_publish_future_post() calls wp_publish_post():

 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/post.php#L2882

 which, in turn, gets a WP_Post object, changes the status, can calls
 wp_insert_post():

 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/post.php#L2863

 but, because post_category isn't a part of the WP_Post object, the
 categories default to default

 r21942 seems to be the culprit. This is reproducible on wpcom and in
 trunk.
