Comment (by manfcarlo):

 > 2. The `publish_post` meta capability now respects
 `$args['map_meta_cap'] = false` and does not map, previously it was
 mapping anyway.

 I would guess that last unit test is failing because of this? If a post
 type has `$args['map_meta_cap'] = false` then it should be responsible to
 map `publish_post`. Obviously this risks breaking many post types, but I
 would say they are taking on that risk by setting `$args['map_meta_cap'] =
 false`.
