Publishing a blank post says "Post published" but it isn't

[ericlewis]

If you create a new post of any type (post, page, cpt), don't fill out anything and click "Publish," you will get back a success message "Post published" or "Page published" depending on the post type. However, the post will be saved as an Auto Draft, and won't be found on the front end ever again after you leave that page. Click "View page" in the success message and you will be sent to a 404.
