Comment (by WraithKenny):

 I've found a possibly related bug to this. Found a theme that registers 3
 public custom post types (only one of which has a numeric menu position)
 and a plugin uses add_object_page (without a numeric position). The
 plugin's menu overwrites one of the post types, but not the one with the
 numeric menu position. I had to solve this for a client today.

 Conceivably, this means that a plugin registering a CPT without a
 position, and another using add_object_menu can be caused to conflict by
 an unrelated 3rd plugin using a CPT with a numeric position. Strange huh?

 Disclaimer: I didn't dive into the core code, or deeply test this theory.
 I might after work.
