Nodes created in subform are unpublished

Subform Element has been working great for me, with one exception. Nodes that I create in a subform element always end up unpublished (unless I manually check it off). I have verified that this content type is set to default to published, but no luck.

I also tried to add 'status' => 1 to the arguments array passed into the subform, but no dice. Is there another way to do this?
