I just experienced the exact symptoms described in [this previously fixed bug](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/184642/why-does-the-questions-closed-status-disappear-when-clicking-to-load-a-new-edit) on a [brand new question on Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28281082/what-is-differ-between-isset-empty).  

I assume there's been a regression somewhere along the way.
