I am using the new Pledge API as follows:
 $p = array(
                        'contact_id'             => $this->_individualId,
                        'pledge_create_date'    => date('Ymd'),
                        'start_date'    => date('Ymd'),
                        'scheduled_date'    => date('Ymd',$dayaftertomorrow), 
                        'pledge_amount'         => 100.00,
                        'pledge_status_id'         => '2',
                        'contribution_type_id'  => '1',
                        'pledge_original_installment_amount' => 20,
                        'frequency_interval'             => 1,
                        'frequency_unit'             => 'month',
                        'frequency_day'            => 1,
                        'installments'            =>5,
         
                  );                       
        $this->_pledge =& civicrm_pledge_create($p);

I am using the code from:  http://svn.civicrm.org/civicrm/branches/trunk.api/api/v2/Pledge.php

I have successfully loaded all the pledges using this API. However, when I am in the staff area and looking at the scheduled installments for one of the imported pledges, there is no "Submit Payment" link or "Edit Scheduled Payment" link.

I have looked at the records in "civicrm_pledge" and do not see any difference between an imported pledge as compared to one I created in the UI.

I was able to manually fix the issue with SQL by updating the "status_id" field in the civicrm_pledge_payment table.   I will try adding the new parameter that you suggest to the API call.

A slightly related question: Which API should I call to import past transactions that are related to the pledge that I created via the API.  Such as a pledge with 12 installments, 5 of which have already been paid.

I added  "status_id"  => 2

to the array passed to the API call, but it did not help. The status id on the pledge payment was still null.

My workaround is to run the following SQL statement, after running the batch program:

update `civicrm_pledge_payment`
set status_id = 2
where status_id is null
