Comment:

 I'm looking into this issue, without any experience with php though. Not
 to mention javascript or SVN. So this will take some time.

 Probably it is interesting to respect the current publish metabox though,
 even as it can do with a patch. Keeping in mind backward compatibility.

 To be more specific, in metaboxes.php the following code seems to cause
 the issue:
 <option<?php selected( $post->post_status, 'private' ); ?>
 value='publish'><?php _e('Privately Published') ?></option>
