Comment:

 Okay, managed a few minutes today to take a fresh look.  All my issues
 were caused by trying to remove the Add New menu item from my custom post
 prior to any changes I made to Wordpress code.  In the admin_menu hook, I
 used


 {{{
 unset($submenu['edit.php?post_type=my_post_type'][10]);
 }}}


 to remove it.  This is what caused item 2 since initially the submenu had
 two items and was reduced to one item which was removed because it was the
 same as its $parent thus leading to an inconsistent state of $submenu.
 Having a create_post capability in place would resolve this.  Item 1 is
 invalid.

 I'm changing the summary and marking this as an enhancement request.

 The create_posts capability would be used to determine if someone has the
 ability to Add New.
