 Hi @NomNom99 , welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

 I have two thoughts after reading your report;

 First: just use "''ignore_sticky_post''" option and move forward;
 On second thought, I think this is a bug, when you make a request to
 retrieve drafted posts you should only get drafted posts not a posts with
 other status no matter they are sticky or not.

 After some search, the code was introduced here [8546] 7457, originally
 called ''caller_get_posts'' and renamed ''ignore_sticky_posts'' here
 [15589]/#14624
