Comment (by TobiasBg):

 I recently stumbled upon a problem with WP_Roles, as well, when the user's
 caps where not refreshed after adding a cap to the user's role. See

 I ended up with refreshing this manually, although WP_Roles should
 probably take care of this by itself:
 {{{
 // Add or remove caps
 ...->add_cap( ... );
 // Refresh current set of capabilities of the user, to be able to directly
 use the new caps
 $user = wp_get_current_user();
 $user->get_role_caps();
 }}}
