When testing #1297 I found that the frontend post validation logic is being invoked for
auto-draft
posts. When accessing the New Post screen an auto-draft is created immediately, and this is resulting in that validation loopback request to the frontend to check the validity of a post that has nothing in it yet. Validation needs to be prevented for such posts; it should only be done once a post is saved as a draft.
