18264,Future private posts listed as already published with future date specified,chrisrudzki,,"Setting a post to private, and scheduling it for some future date or time, results in the stamp that the post was ""Published on (future date)"" in the publish module.

The discussion on tickets #5608 and #9136 suggests that all private posts are published immediately (and privately), and that this is intentional. So, it's misleading and confusing to report that it already was published on some future date.

In source:trunk/wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php#L163, I suggest we replace:

{{{
else if ( 'publish' == $post->post_status || 'private' == $post->post_status ) { // already published
		$stamp = __('Published on: <b>%1$s</b>'); }
}}}

with:

{{{
else if ( 'publish' == $post->post_status ) { // already publicly published
		$stamp = __('Published on: <b>%1$s</b>');
	} else if (  'private' == $post->post_status ) { // published privately
		$stamp = __('Published privately'); }
