Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 @azaozz I did some local testing and this seems to work well. I tested in
 the console after opening a page with wp-api loaded:


 {{{
 var post = new wp.api.models.Post();
 post.set( 'title', 'autosave test' );
 post.save();
 post.set( 'status', 'publish' );
 post.save();
 post.set( 'title', 'updated autosave test' );
 post.save( { is_autosave: true } );
 }}}

 I then logged in as a different user and created a new autosave as that
 user:

 {{{
 var post = new wp.api.models.Post();
 post.set('id',[previous_id]);
 post.fetch();
 post.save( { is_autosave: true } );
 }}}

 At this point, checking the database, the rows look as I expect them to:
