 This may not be a "bug" per-se,but seems to have a lot of negative
 consequences so I'll give it a shot.

 According to the rules:  A contributor can edit their own Posts -
 irrespective of who scheduled it.
 http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Contributor

 This creates problems for large publications where there is an editor who
 makes changes to posts and then schedules them, sometimes a couple days in
 advance.

 As it stands now, a contributor can still log in after that process is
 done which means unexpected changes and shenanigans might take place.

 Wouldn't it make more sense for a contributor to lose editing privileges
 as soon as something is no longer in draft modea?

 Just my two cents.
