Comment:

 8592.5.diff includes checks for password-protected pages' children.

 To sum up the current approach, there are new args filters on
 wp_list_pages() and wp_dropdown_pages(), to allow devs to change
 post_status (among other things). And then there is a bunch of sanity
 checking as a result:

 * Reading Settings forces public status for the front page setting, in
 case wp_dropdown_pages() has been filtered to include other statuses.
 * If the user attempts to publish child pages of draft or private pages,
 the children will inherit the parent's status instead, and their status
 can't be changed until the parent is published (with a note to that effect
 in the Visibility section of the Publish box).
 * If the user attempts to publish child pages of password-protected pages,
 the children will also be set to password-protected and will inherit the
 parent's password if none was set (also with a note in the Publish box).
