 Reported at https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/1490.  I haven't
 had time to investigate yet, but this should be a fairly quick win.

 HTTP 5xx error codes should be reserved for unexpected server errors like
 database failures, out of memory, etc.  This one should be `400 Bad
 Request` or maybe `409 Conflict` instead.
