 Replying to [comment:8 nacin]:
 > So, 3.5 has create_posts with a caveat: It only works if the user has
 edit_posts, such as when the post type leverages edit_posts (like
 attachments do).
 I've just run into this problem. A user who doesn't have the
 `create_posts` capability for a custom post type can't see the edit menu
 for that post type unless they also have the general `edit_posts`
 capability. This is caused by `$parent` in `user_can_access_admin_page()`
 being empty when it shouldn't.
