Comment(by duck_):

 This happens for any taxonomy, not just custom defined ones (try visiting
 {{{edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category}}} as a subscriber). The root of the
 problem is that {{{user_can_access_admin_page()}}} is not recognising the
 {{{edit-tags.php?taxonomy=TAX_NAME}}} entry in {{{$_wp_submenu_nopriv}}}
 since the pagenow global is set to edit-tags.php (note lack of query
 string).

 Quick fix patch (not addressing problem described above) emulates
 behaviour in edit.php; implements a secondary check after the check in
 menu.php should deny access.

 NB: the the links are all being removed from the menu, talking about
 visiting the URL directly as a user without the correct privileges.
