Description
Easy to lose draft post if logged off for some reason
ENV: WP trunk r8759
I had written my greatest post ever. Clicking publish, I found myself staring at the login page. I don't know what that happened, but I think that is the lesser issue.
It's easy to reproduce by manually logging off while writing.
If logged out while writing an article:
1) the feedback, if any, when auto-save fails sucks. We need to help the person preserve their work
2) After clicking Save/Publish and logging back in, my work is gone. Using the Firefox 3 Back button returning to wp-admin/post-new.php I'm crying because of the blank page that confronts me.

I attached a simple patch to provide feedback within the autosave message. maybe something more obvious needed.
The most obvious attempt to save the data would be storing it in a session and set a cookie. After login this cookie could be used in edit post page to recover the post and procude a draft.
