Comment (by kevinB):

 Here's a paraphrase of what said plugin does if the logged user has been
 granted editing capabilities for certain posts, but not post creation
 capability:

 {{{
 // Remove "Add New" submenu items if user can only edit existing posts.
 // This executes on the 'admin_init' action.
 global $submenu;

 foreach ( get_post_types() as $type ) {
    $edit_key = 'edit.php';
    $add_key = 'post-new.php';

    if ( 'post' != $type ) {
       $edit_key .= "?post_type=$type";
       $add_key .= "?post_type=$type";
    }

    if ( isset($submenu[$edit_key]) ) {
       foreach ( $submenu[$edit_key] as $key => $arr ) {
          if ( isset($arr['2']) && ( $add_key == $arr['2'] ) ) {
             if ( ! plugin_func_user_can_add_posts( $type ) )
                unset( $submenu[$edit_key][$key] );
          }
       }
    }
 }
 }}}

 I remember some discussion of core support for a "create_posts"
 capability, so this may not be just a plugin issue.
