Comment (by nacin):

 I guess wp_update_post() can hypothetically be used to create posts, but
 since wp_insert_post() then assumes if an ID is passed it is dealing with
 an update, things start to get wonky.

 It would likely be best to fix this in both functions.

 We can use "Invalid post ID." which is an existing string.
