They certainly shouldn't (seconded!). The front end should only ever show
published posts - including when logged in - and really, in future, should
only show one's own posts (perhaps all published for a site admin).

Drafts aren't part of the published time line and it doesn't follow logic for
them to be presented as a result - drafts should exists *outside* of the
published and thus visible time-line.

It confused me (having driven several CMS, I can't recall ever seeing that
behaviour before anywhere else) and I was actually initially concerned
un-published content was (potentially) being seen where it should not be.
