 admin\includes\schema.php

 The edit_comment cap is a '''meta capability''' that is, a capability
 which maps to other '''real''' capabilities, it's really just an
 conditional alias: [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/15596/trunk
 /wp-includes/capabilities.php the magic happens here] where it's mapped to
 the Post Type's Edit capability.

 So; you should never see a user with the 'edit_comment' cap specifically,
 but you will have users who it passes as true for since behind the scenes
 it maps to another real capability which they do have.
