Comment:

 The problem is that `wp_insert_post` breaks earlier when an empty post has
 been found and assigned as true to the `$maybe_empty` variable. Initially,
 a post has a status of `auto-draft` which isn't updated to `draft` unless
 there is any valid data in the title or content.

 IMO this makes sense and also happens when you skip step 2 (i.e. just hit
 'Save Draft' for an empty post).

 My proposal is just counting the sticky posts properly by ignoring `auto-
 draft` posts as well.
