 Replying to [comment:28 bobbingwide]:

 I just checked this on my system and it works correctly.

 I duplicated a post, then changed the slug to end up with "_wp_old_slug"
 for that post.
 I then duplicated the newly created post again, but left it saved as a
 draft (pending).

 I then searched using phpMyAdmin the table wp_postmeta for "_wp_old_slug"
 and sorted it in order of post_id, showing the last two post_id's
 correctly on top.

 Both had the same "_wp_old_slug", which is correct as the slug has not
 been changed.

 Clicking on the link for the first post displayed the first post
 correctly.


 > Note: I'm currently having problems when I introduced "pending" posts
 with the same slug into the scenario.
 > The existence of the pending post seems to prevent a visitor from
 viewing the previously published post.
 > It gives a 404 when you click on the permalink for the existing
 published post.
 >
 > Note: I've not be working in a vanilla environment; it seems WP-members
 was affecting the results in one.
 > In another the pending post's slug is already being suffixed. Watch this
 space.
