Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:51 lessbloat]:
 > - If you have zero pages, or only the "sample page", show the "Add new
 page" option by default.

 Some more tweaks in [attachment:16379.8.patch]:

 * Use `selected()` function.
 * Only select "Add new page" if no other page is selected.
 * `__( 'sample-page' )` is a translatable string: [[BR]]
  http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.4.2/wp-
 admin/includes/upgrade.php#L263
 * Sanitize `$_POST['page_on_front_title']` before searching for an
 existing page.

 > - When "Add new page" is selected, if title entered equals same title of
 an existing page, just use the existing page vs. creating a new page with
 the same title.

 I did the same in [attachment:16379.patch], but then thought it might be
 better to just always create a new page as requested. Either way is fine
 for me though.
