Comment (by jfarthing84):

 FWIW, here's my current solution:

 {{{
 function map_publish_private_posts_to_edit_posts( $caps, $cap ) {
         global $pagenow;

         if ( 'publish_posts' == $cap && 'post.php' == $pagenow &&
                 isset( $_POST['action'] ) && 'editpost' ==
 $_POST['action'] &&
                 isset( $_POST['post_status'] ) && 'private' ==
 $_POST['post_status']
         ) {
                 $caps = array( 'edit_posts' );
         }

         return $caps;
 }
 add_filter( 'map_meta_cap', 'map_publish_private_posts_to_edit_posts', 10,
 2 );
 }}}
