Comment (by siliconforks):

 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/9681 PR #9681] is not
 really what I had in mind for addressing this issue.  I was thinking it
 would be best to do what was described in
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/37441#comment:3 this comment] -
 i.e., try to set the second argument to `wp_insert_post()` to `true` in
 order to (hopefully) get a meaningful error message.  (Then you could just
 call `wp_die()` with that error message.)

 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/9681 PR #9681] seems
 like it is just hiding the problem rather than trying to report it to the
 user.
