[wp-testers] RC1: "Publish Status" UI is missing some backend

Two related problems in WP 2.5 RC1 Write Post/Page:

The "keep private" checkbox implies a separate attribute indicating that 
the post IS or WILL BE private, if and when it is published.  Yet 
there's still really just one post_status attribute, and checking the 
private box just overrides the published/unpublished/pending selection 
to private (which still means published and private) without saying so.

Contributors get the "Submit for Review" button, but also have a 
"Publish Status" selector that includes "Published".  If Contributor 
selects "Published" and "Submits for Review", the resulting post is 
published with post_status 'private'; no "pending review" cue for 
editors.  This happens whether or not the private checkbox is checked.
