Comment (by derweili):

 I modified the mentioned `handle_status_param` method to first check if we
 are editing an existing post or a new post.
 Secondly, if we are editing an existing post there is an additional check
 for the current status when the requested status is `future` or `publish`

 So basically the the approach from @peterwilsoncc with another check for
 the current status.

 The unit tests now have no more errors.
