Custom post type meta fields missing on save_post_type

On a whim I tried this: stop checking for a custom post object and just use save_post. I’m able to get the data I need from save_post without using save_post_type. That is, I can run this:

add_action( 'save_post', array( $this, 'post_actions' ), 11, 2 );

And instead of only running that when the post type is post, I can run it as long as it is not user, attachment, tag, post_tag, category, or comment.

So it doesn’t really answer the question of why save_post and save_post_type behave differently with regard to what data is available, but it does solve my immediate issue of my missing data.
