Is the whole "Facebook records what you type, even if you don't hit post" real, or just an urban legend?

I've seen Facebook offer me to save a draft of the wall post so I can continue in case I switch devices, in that case of course it would store my draft server-side; but I feel like that reiterated claim is an urban legend.
