Comment (by jason_the_adams):

 I didn't want to overextend this. But I did notice as well that a similar
 issue happens if the post_status is omitted. In fact, there's two points
 in wp_insert_post that effectively forces 'draft' if the status is omitted
 or empty. It really feels like update should accept partial data and
 assume the existing data in that case.
