Comment (by redsweater):

 @rachelbaker To underscore why it's probably most appropriate to fix the
 bug in wp_insert_post, consider that at least by the
 contract/documentation of wp_insert_post, post_date is a primary, expected
 parameter to the function. I think that's shifting over time since the
 XMLRPC API is favoring use of post_date_gmt, but unless we want to
 document away the validity of passing post_date to wp_insert_post, I think
 it should be safeguarded within the function.
