 * If multiple posts are edited to change category, for example, in the quick edit
   screen it results in the error “no publication ID specified 2013.”
 * I checked the code and there isn’t anything that prevents the save_post action
   from running when updating via quick edit. I’m not sure if it should be running
   that action at that point. IMO it probably shouldn’t.
 * Alternatively it shouldn’t throw the error when using a core WP feature like 
   that.
