 Steps to replicate running Twenty Seventeen on a "fresh" install:

 - Open the Customizer
 - Do something that adds new `auto-draft`s of the starter content. For
 example, refresh the Customizer.
 - Publish the starter content.
 - Visit the frontend and attempt to navigate to one of the starter content
 page, like "Contact," and see the page 404.

 Publishing the starter content publishes the most-recently created `auto-
 draft`, but the earlier ones (with lower IDs) remain. `get_page_by_path()`
 doesn't account for post status, so when you visit the starter content
 page, the query returns the `auto-draft`.
