Comment (by nacin):

 Replying to [comment:12 johnbillion]:
 > I've just run into this problem. A user who doesn't have the
 `create_posts` capability for a custom post type can't see the edit menu
 for that post type unless they also have the general `edit_posts`
 capability. This is caused by `$parent` in `user_can_access_admin_page()`
 being empty when it shouldn't.

 So [attachment:22895.diff] would be the wrong fix? Patch welcome for sure.
