Comment:

 [attachment:22895.diff] is a hack that allows user_can_access_admin_page()
 to respect edit.php?post_type= pages. It still does not respect edit-
 tags.php?taxonomy= pages, though, and neither does
 get_admin_page_parent(). Overall, the whole thing is a mess and needs to
 be rewritten. Fun. Even #12718 only touches the API, rather than the inner
 guts...

 Since this is a new feature, and I'm not really sure of the possible
 breakage that could be caused by [attachment:22895.diff] (one problem with
 the admin menu code is it is completely unmaintainable), I'm going to move
 this ticket to 3.6. So, 3.5 has create_posts with a caveat: It only works
 if the user has edit_posts, such as when the post type leverages
 edit_posts (like attachments do). Not the best, but also not something to
 go messing with a point release. Think of it as version 0.1.
