Comment:

 This appears to actually only be a problem with the "Sample Page" created
 when a new site is created in a multisite environment. This page defaults
 to the GMT timezone, but when a user changes their site to their desired
 timezone (in my case, GMT-5), the "Sample Page" post time is set to 5
 hours in the future (which I initially overlooked). This is why Quick
 Edits were scheduling the post rather than leaving it posted.

 Although the UI on the full edit page does switch from "Update" to
 "Schedule" when I go to edit the published date/time (even if I cancel),
 it does not erroneously schedule the post instead of leaving it as Posted.

 Changed from "Major" to "Normal" (possibly down to minor?)
