Comment (by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 I *think* the fix to all of these is to change the following in
 `wp_insert_post()`:

 {{{
         if ( empty($post_date_gmt) || '0000-00-00 00:00:00' ==
 $post_date_gmt ) {
                 if ( !in_array( $post_status, array( 'draft', 'pending',
 'auto-draft' ) ) )
                         $post_date_gmt = get_gmt_from_date($post_date);
                 else
                         $post_date_gmt = '0000-00-00 00:00:00';
         }
 }}}

 To:

 {{{
         if ( empty($post_date_gmt) || '0000-00-00 00:00:00' ==
 $post_date_gmt ) {
                 if ( !in_array( $post_status, array( 'draft', 'pending',
 'auto-draft' ) ) )
                         $post_date_gmt = get_gmt_from_date($post_date);
                 else
                         $post_date_gmt = '0000-00-00 00:00:00';
         }
         elseif ( in_array( $post_status, array( 'draft', 'pending', 'auto-
 draft' ) ) ) {
                 $post_date_gmt = '0000-00-00 00:00:00';
         }
 }}}
