 I don't know when exactly this started, if it's due to a theme or plugin,
 but these days whenever I author a new post and assign a featured image,
 it reverts to the site's default featured image.  I can then update the
 featured image after publishing, but I use Jetpack's publicize feature to
 automatically share new posts to Twitter and Facebook, and thus they get
 the wrong featured image.

 The work around I've employed is to always schedule my posts for a few
 minutes in the future.  I can then go back and fix the featured image
 before the posts goes public, and thus it will publish with the correct
 image.  This is a serious pain though.  It sure would be nice if the
 publish button would stop reverting my featured image to the default!
