Comment:

 The Post Author box lists users with a user_meta "user_level" value set to
 2 or higher (matching roles of Author or above).

 The Members plugin just sets "user_level" value to 0, meaning no matter
 how many capabilities you give a custom role created, the user level
 matches the Subscriber role.  Ideally the Members plugin should allow you
 to set a relative user level to appropriately match the custom role you
 are creating.

 This would be within the plugin authors ability to fix, and not WordPress.
