 === Steps to reproduce

 Using the REST API:

 * Create a post
 * Delete the post (not forced)
 * Update the post's slug
 * Update the post's status to `publish`

 ==== Create

 `POST wp-json/wp/v2/posts`

 {{{#!json
 {
   "status": "publish",
   "slug": "a",
   "title": "a"
 }
 }}}

 ==== Delete

 `DELETE wp-json/wp/v2/posts/<id>`

 ==== Update slug

 `POST wp-json/wp/v2/posts/<id>`

 {{{#!json
 {
   "slug": "foo"
 }
 }}}

 ==== Update status

 `POST wp-json/wp/v2/posts/<id>`

 {{{#!json
 {
   "status": "publish"
 }
 }}}

 === Expected

 Post should be published with a slug of `foo` (the updated value)

 === Actual

 Post is published with a slug of `a` (the old value)
