Comment (by danielbachhuber):

 Replying to [comment:83 azaozz]:
 > Right. The problem here is that `(post_)parent` is a property of WP_Post
 and the API shouldn't be overwriting it, especially for `pages`. Taht's a
 UI setting for them. It seems this is another bug in the API. How would
 that work when a draft page with a (real) post_parent is autosaved and the
 actual page row is updated in the db? Would the page's parent be
 overwritten?

 Oh, I see what you've run into. In this particular case, we should be more
 protective about the request data we're passing through. I'd consider what
 you've described to be a bug.
