Comment (by archon810):

 We actually tried to change this otherwise ideal behavior to return
 admin_notices instead, thus saving the revision instead of wp_die()ing,
 and forcing a draft status if you're trying to publish, but ran into a
 deal-breaking limitation.

 If an update is done to an already published post, there's no way to use
 the above functionality because either:
 a) the post will get unpublished (BAD) or
 b) the update is allowed to go through, which means even though there may
 be an admin_notices message, it may go unnoticed, and an update that
 failed validation may be live for some time.

 Any suggestions?
