[wp-hackers] Custom Post Type + Capabilities & Roles

[Jake Goldman]

Exactly what happens to me. I'm fairly convinced at this point it's just 
an obscure bug. Even if it there's a way around this (Andrew?) it seems 
like this is a reasonable use case that just doesn't work as one should 
expect. You shouldn't be able to get to the "Add New" screen only to be 
presented with, effectively, a "you can't add this" error.

Will submit to trac later today.
