Comment (by dnaber-de):

 I don't think that this issue can be solved with JavaScript. Such a
 solution would add only more restrictions to the UI. The filter
 `wp_insert_post_empty_content` explicit allows to override the default
 guard. With an additionally JavaScript inhibitor one would have to
 override two points to make empty posts publishable.

 `wp_insert_post()` by default returns `0` when trying to publish an empty
 post via the Admin-UI, which is correct. The resulting message ID (`/wp-
 admin/post.php?post=4&action=edit&message=6`) is just wrong.
