 We use a generic error message when we fail to save the post, which can be
 due something as simple as not having post title and content:

 {{{
 if ( is_wp_error( $updated ) || intval( $updated ) < 1 ) {
         wp_send_json_error( array( 'errorMessage' => __( 'Error while
 saving the post. Please try again later.' ) ) );
 } else {
 }}}

 We should instead use `$updated->get_error_message()` to let the user know
 exactly what happened: https://cloudup.com/cT5H53fr5Ic

 See attached patch.
