Comment (by kenneyw):

 It appears this is still not incorporated in WP 3.9.1.

 If the above solution is not going to make it into WP, at least refactor
 autosave.js
 to use 'this.getPostData' rather than 'getPostData' etc. What's the point
 of exporting
 it in the window.wp.autosave structure if changing it has no effect?

 What I want to do a plugin script is something like:

 {{{
     var as_getPostData = window.wp.autosave.getPostData;
     window.wp.autosave.getPostData = function() {
         var ret = as_getPostData.apply( this/*?*/, arguments );
         // append my metabox input fields
         return ret;
     };
 }}}
