Comment(by sbressler):

 If this is not a bug, then is the only way to check current_user_can for a
 lower role and to get it to pass for a higher role to use the deprecated
 numbered levels? current_user_can('level_1') for example when you want to
 check contributor or higher. I need to avoid just assuming
 current_user_can('edit_posts') to do this check, and it seems that levels
 are the only other way to do this if the above desired (and I believe
 correct) functionality is not what WP should be doing.
