Comment:

 I replicated this bug, but it indeed only happens when the current user is
 a super-admin, as stated above. We could try to address this with a
 workaround in `map_meta_cap()`, but since using role names with
 `current_user_can()`, I think we shouldn't address this now.

 If this problem actually occurs when not using a super-admin account,
 please reopen. Thanks for the ticket @edville101!
