Comment (by DaEnno):

 You can't upload an image with the post status 'inherit'. Of course, the
 parent will be created after the image is uploaded.
 That's why the initial "post_status" of an image is "draft".

 This is the point where the "attach_uploads" function should be doing it's
 job properly by setting the image's "post_status" to "inherit".

 When I first recognized this I thought I could get around it by setting
 the image's post status afterwards via "wp.editPost". Unfortunately this
 doesn't work either. This is due to some switch-statement where 'inherit'
 is not included for the "post_status", so it defaults to ''draft''.
 You can see this in the function "mw_editPost", starting with

 {{{
 switch( $content_struct["{$post_type}_status"] ) {
 }}}
