New description:

 If you save an empty post set as sticky as draft it increments number of
 Sticky Posts because the auto-draft's ID ends up in the list of sticky
 posts:

 To reproduce error:
 1. Create New Post, leave everything empty
 2. Tick 'Stick this post to the front page'
 3. Click Save as Draft

 Reproduced in a clean install of WordPress v3.6, default theme with no
 plugins activated.
