Comment:

 Appears to be triggered by [27976]. [28073] fixed `edit_post()`, but not
 `_wp_translate_postdata()`.

 In trunk, we have (since [27405]):
 {{{
 if ( ! isset( $post_data['post_status'] ) ) {
         $post_data['post_status'] = 'auto-draft' === $previous_status ?
 'draft' : $previous_status;
 }
 }}}
 In 3.8 and 3.7 branches, it's:
 {{{
 if ( ! isset($post_data['post_status']) ) {
         $post_data['post_status'] = $previous_status;
 }}}

 [attachment:27795.patch] fixes this for me.
