Comment:

 Someone else pointed this out to me too. This seems like it is proper
 behavior. In 3.6, we create a revision on edit, rather than on subsequent
 edit. This was in part to solve an off-by-one issue, and in part to make
 it more obvious what was going on with revisions.

 That said, I'm not positive whether "create a revision on edit" should
 also occur for freshly created posts using wp_insert_post(). All UI-
 created posts are actually an edit, thanks to auto-drafts.
