As a temporary fix until this is resolved officially,

Removing the (int) cast in
       if(isset($content_struct["mt_allow_comments"])) {
		$comment_status = (int) $content_struct["mt_allow_comments"];
       }
solved the issue of comments.

Adding
       if(isset($content_struct["mt_allow_pings"])) {
                 $ping_status = $content_struct["mt_allow_pings"];
       }
just below the above block seems to solve the issue with pings.

This will take care of editing posts.

For taking care of new posts, replace
		if(isset($content_struct["mt_allow_comments"])) {
			switch((int) $content_struct["mt_allow_comments"]) {
				case 0:
					$comment_status = "closed";
					break;
				case 1:
					$comment_status = "open";
					break;
				default:
					$comment_status = get_option("default_comment_status");
					break;
			}
		}

		if(isset($content_struct["mt_allow_pings"])) {
			switch((int) $content_struct["mt_allow_pings"]) {
				case 0:
					$ping_status = "closed";
					break;
				case 1:
					$ping_status = "open";
					break;
				default:
					$ping_status = get_option("default_ping_status");
					break;
			}
		}

with
                 if(isset($content_struct["mt_allow_comments"])) {
                         $comment_status = $content_struct 
["mt_allow_comments"];
                 }

                 if(isset($content_struct["mt_allow_pings"])) {
                         $ping_status = $content_struct 
["mt_allow_pings"];
                 }

Seems to work okay for me. Could break things for you. Use it at your  
own risk!! :)

Just rename it from .txt to .php and give it a shot.
