Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 > bbPress has a setting where all users are automatically granted a user
 role, which is probably why the user has access to `wp-admin/`, but
 capability checks would prevent access to all pages within

 I just reconfirmed this is working as intended in bbPress 2.6 (and trunk).
 Admin-area content is limited to users with a Moderator or Keymaster role.

 > I think bbPress has a variant of this redirect too?

 bbPress does not redirect anyone out of `wp-admin` by default. (Would be a
 super-easy feature to add.)

 Users without caps who try to access bbPress pages will see the "Sorry,
 you are not allowed to access this page." `wp_die()` page.
