 If user doesn't own the 'publish_posts' capability, he can't set a post
 status to 'private' in edit screen even if he has the capabilities to edit
 this post. But in Quick Edit he can. The same problem appears with pages.
 You can check the problem with a user of the role 'contributor'.

 In my humble opinion such a user should be able to set the status from
 draft to 'private' and vice versa.
