Comment (by sc0ttkclark):

 Use-case example:

 1. Editor goes into a draft post, makes a couple of changes to formatting
 2. Clicks Preview
 3. Decides they don't want to make those changes after all
 4. Closes preview post tab in browser, leaves post editor without
 explicitly saving the draft

 The assumption by the editor (and rightfully so) is that when making a
 change but not explicitly saving the draft -- those changes will not be
 saved onto the current version of that draft until they are ready to.

 This currently happens as expected for posts that do not have the 'draft'
 or 'auto-draft' posts.
