Comment (by earnjam):

 This came up again in Gutenberg here:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/13176

 Because of the way we're making an assumption in Gutenberg on whether the
 date is floating based on a couple of specific statuses, we can't account
 for floating dates with any custom post statuses.

 Adding another new type of draft status as Gary suggested above wouldn't
 help in that case either, unfortunately.
