Comment (by DD32):

 I just tried to trace the bug, Utterly impossible, Seems like
 WP_User::$caps isnt being populated at all, and i couldnt work out why

 If i was to replace:

 http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/capabilities.php#L107
 {{{
  $this->roles = get_option( $this->role_key );
 }}}

 with a var_export() a working role key, Everything would work as expected,
 So my thinking is that the WP_Roles class might not be picking up the
 role/capabilities list correctly.
