17115,Publishing an empty post results in success,kawauso,,"'''Steps to reproduce:'''
1. Go to Add New post screen
1. Publish post
1. Success message is displayed with link to initial auto-draft of post

The issue can be traced back to the `editpost` switch case in `post.php` (line 204), which calls `edit_post()` and `redirect_post()`.

`edit_post()` saves any meta values passed with the post to the auto-draft, which isn't necessarily desirable, and returns the auto-draft post ID.

`redirect_post()` then defaults to status message code 6 which incorrectly reports success in publishing.",defect (bug),new,normal,Awaiting Review,Administration,3.1,normal,,needs-patch,eddie@… trepmal@…
