 After updating to 3.8.2, the Contributor role can't 'Save Draft' anymore.

 Logged in as 'contributor', when I try to save the posts as draft, all the
 fields become blank and the post is lost and not saved at all. This only
 happened when the site auto-updated to 3.8.2.

 Probably a related issue of #27734

Comment:

 Confirmed.

 1. Log in as a contributor and go to Add New Post screen.
 2. Enter just the post title and click "Save Draft".
 3. The title becomes blank again, and the post is not listed on the Posts
 screen.

 Does not happen in 3.8.1 or trunk, only in 3.8.2.
