Comment (by dd32):

 This is related to a WordPress core REST API issue and a Gutenberg issue.

 The WordPress REST API includes a `/users?who=authors` API endpoint that
 lists users, this fails to take into account custom user roles.

 WordPress 5.9 fixed this by adding a `?capabilities=edit_post` query
 method, but Gutenberg still doesn't use it for the dropdown. Not that it
 would matter, as the capability lookup also doesn't work for the Rosetta
 custom roles...

 See https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/39986 for the upstream
 issue.

 Fixes incoming... well, fixes above :)
