Comment (by mikejolley):

 @johnbillion So I tried again via UI and it did occur. I looked into it
 further and the customer role had edit_posts false.

 Whilst different from my OP, this should still be considered a issue I
 think if the roles don't layer on top correctly since caps can be modified
 over time.

 Propose making unit test the following:

 `
 $expected_caps = array(
     'read' => true,
     'edit_posts' => false,
 );
 `

 Since the primary role is author, edit_posts should still be true if
 working (patch should resolve).
