#50843: Default category for custom posts when post_content is empty

 If you enter only the post_content and save, or enter the post_title and
 post_content and save, the default category is selected and it works as
 intended.

 But when I type in only the post_title and save it, no categories appear
 to be selected.

 Upon investigating the reason, if no post_content is entered, the
 post_status value will be "auto_draft" and as a result the default
 category will not be applied.

 Is the above as expected?
