 Hey guys,

 I've created a new user role, which didn't appear in the Author drop down
 list due to #16841. The workaround is to add a level_1 capability to that
 user, but because wordpress doesn't call update_user_level_from_caps()
 function when you add_cap, that isn't actually applied to existing users
 on the role, and you have to move them to a different role and back again
 if you want to apply the changed user role.

 I'd suggest adding a call to update_user_level_from_caps() to add_cap (and
 remove_cap) to fix this in wp-includes/capabilities.php
