 == Reproduction Report
 === Description
 This report validates that the issue can still be reproduced, but in a
 different way.



 === Environment
 - WordPress: 6.9-alpha-60093-src
 - PHP: 8.2.25
 - Server: nginx/1.27.2
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.4 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.25)
 - Browser: Chrome 138.0.0.0
 - OS: macOS
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.3


 === Actual Results
 ✅ Error condition somewhat occurs.

 From the screenshot below, we can see that for every other status of the
 post, except private, namely public and protected, whenever we schedule a
 publish, on the posts list page, we see the keyword `Scheduled` attached
 to them.

 But in the case of private, even though the post is scheduled to be
 published, there is no indication on the list. This will make accounting
 for the posts very difficult if the post list is very long and contains
 mixed statuses.

 While the original issue reported has changed, the crux of the issue still
 remains.

 === Additional Notes

 I think it would be much clearer and better if we could correctly display
 the scheduled status on the posts list.

 Naturally, I would like to investigate further on this one and see the
 cause of the issue.
