#39818: Bulk Publishing Posts (from Pending State) Causes Pagination To Break

 Steps: -

 1. Create about 30 posts, all in 'pending' state.

 2. In admin panel, bulk edit all these posts and change status to
 'publish'

 Observe: The order of the posts gets messed up in the admin panel. If
 pagination is in place, you can notice duplicate posts on pages.

 Apparently, the 'publish date' of the posts is messed up at the time of
 bulk publishing all the posts. WP_Query cannot decide how to paginate
 posts because multiple posts would have the same publishing time (unix
 timestamp).

 Notes: I encountered this bug at the time of creating posts using a script
 (to test my plugin). I could reproduce it on two different servers; but
 not on my local machine with exported XML.
