Comment:

 The problem is sadly more complex than this.

 For items that are added via bp_core_new_subnav_item() and protected with
 user_has_acces (like the friend request notification email), the item does
 not strictly speaking exist when the user is not logged in, so BP returns
 a 'page not found' message.

 When an item is protected via a check inside of the function itself, it
 simply fails to load the template, or sometimes even returns false, which
 results in a redirect back to the home page.

 The problem is actually quite serious from a usability point of view, but
 a real solution lies beyond the scope of BP 1.3. I'm hoping for something
 quite robust in BP 1.4.
