 There are quite a few tickets related to private posts that can be viewed
 by users who should, and even more tickets related to private comments
 that can be viewed by users who aren't authorized to view the post.

 There also is at least one ticket that highlights a performance issue
 related to private posts.

 Would it be an option to turn this into a canonical plugin and begone with
 the problems?

 I've attached a patch (untested) that aims to do just that, in case anyone
 wants to test it.
