This is intentional.  We want private posts to DEFINITELY be private.   
Before, hitting "Publish" would set your post to be published (i.e.  
override Private).  By making Private a checkbox, we can be 100% sure  
about your intention, and make sure we're not ever exposing a private  
post.

I did a lot of work on this for RC2, as "Submit for Review" is sort of  
my baby.  Now Contributors only have "Draft" or "Pending Review."

Download RC2 [1] and see if that resolves your issues.
