Comment:

 Just to add a point; Custom Post Type Menu Positions does not allow float
 / string positions.
 Because of the followinf code snippet in wp-admin/menu.php (Line 108)

 {{{
 $ptype_menu_position = is_int( $ptype_obj->menu_position ) ?
 $ptype_obj->menu_position : ++$_wp_last_object_menu; // If we're to use
 $_wp_last_object_menu, increment it first.
 }}}

 It forces to have an integer value otherwise it will assign ext
 incremented position for the custom post type menu.
