Comment:

 I don't think this is a bug.

 What $wp_post_types stores is not necessarily the same that is received by
 register_post_type(). I don't think they are necessarily interchangeable,
 either. IF they are interchangeable now, I'm not sure they should need to
 be in the future.

 For example, 'capabilities' (input array) versus 'cap' (output object).
 capability_type can take an array but reduces it to its first value once
 it is done with it.
