same here. I’m using Authorize.net and the orders denied by payment gateway are shown with blank status. Before upgrading to 1.6, they were not shown in the orders list.
I just upgraded to 1.6.2, and I have NO ORDER STATUSES available for orders. The drop-down is empty, although I do see them in the database, as well as the deprecated location in the config.xml file under app/code/core/Mage/Sales/etc/
We just upgraded to 1.6.2 as well, most of our orders are going through ok, but now some of them at random seem to be created with a blank status. There is a dollar amount for the order, but when I click on the order, it comes up with an “information” tab that takes me nowhere, and no other order information is available. (I can’t see what was ordered, can’t submit or print the invoice, etc., those buttons don’t even show up)

My problem was just me being an idiot: I only copied over the first page of tables in PHPMyAdmin when I copied the database. I didn’t realize when I exported the SQL that when I hit “Select All” it didn’t select tables from page 2. Wow, that was a bonehead move!
We are having the same problem where most orders and just fine, but a few orders are showing up that have no status. We have figured out that these seem to be orders where the payment method failed, usually an AVS mismatch or something like that. But regardless, an order should not be getting created, or at least (not sure how Magento handles order creation/order numbering), should not be showing up. Any ideas?
Having the same problem although seem to be getting it with ony one payment type and undertood to be realted to the Fontis AU extension

Have solved my issue by verifying the status code used by the Fontis AU Direct Deposit payment module. The xml has the status code as pending_deposit, I creates a new order status (System/Order Statuses) called Pending [Direct Deposit], assigned the status code as pending_deposit and assigned the state ‘new’, all works fine now.
