After his clarifying post I can reproduce this. Create a draft post. Log
out.

Visit http://yourblog.com/index.php/'wp-admin/ and the draft will be
displayed because query.php mistakenly uses is_admin() on link 1172 to
check if the user is an administrator.

I'll open a ticket shortly after I've made myself a coffee =)
