The "keep private" checkbox implies a separate attribute indicating that the post IS or WILL BE private, if and when it is published. Yet there's still really just one post_status attribute, and checking the private box just overrides the published/unpublished/ pending selection to private (which still means published and private) without saying so.
This is intentional. We want private posts to DEFINITELY be private. Before, hitting "Publish" would set your post to be published (i.e. override Private). By making Private a checkbox, we can be 100% sure about your intention, and make sure we're not ever exposing a private post.
Contributors get the "Submit for Review" button, but also have a "Publish Status" selector that includes "Published". If Contributor selects "Published" and "Submits for Review", the resulting post is published with post_status 'private'; no "pending review" cue for editors. This happens whether or not the private checkbox is checked.
I did a lot of work on this for RC2, as "Submit for Review" is sort of my baby. Now Contributors only have "Draft" or "Pending Review."
