Comment:

 I think a little more investigation/debugging needs to be done with the
 code additions done to admin-functions.php, specifically after Feb 12th to
 Feb 17th - it breaks backwards compatibility, perhaps in an avoidable way.

 [http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3536
 http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3536]

 After upgrading a blog from 2.0.4 to 2.1a2 I discovered that users with
 level 0 or 1 who I had given access to gravatars2 and an extended profile
 setup that uses the userextra plugin, could no longer access it - getting
 the error:

 "''You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.''"

 even though they could see it on the menu properly.

 This comes from the added '''$menu_nopriv''' structure which may be built
 incorrectly and always returns false for them via
 {{{
 if ( isset($menu_nopriv[$pagenow]) )     return false;
 }}}

 It may also be causing some menu items from plugins not to be shown even
 at the admin level though I am still tracing that bug - some of my menu
 items have disappeared even though I can still directly access them via
 the full  ?page= url.
