Comment:

 Thanks for the ticket, @michael.ecklund.

 I narrowed down the problem to the existence of three meta capabilities in
 your `capabilities` array:

 {{{
 $args['capabilities']['edit_post']   = 'edit_post';
 $args['capabilities']['read_post']   = 'do_not_allow';
 $args['capabilities']['delete_post'] = 'do_not_allow';
 }}}

 These are singular form meta capabilities, which shouldn't be defined in
 your capabilities array. They map to the `edit_posts`, `read_posts`, and
 `delete_posts` primitive capabilities respectively. If you remove these
 from your capabilities array, the functionality you're attempting to
 create appears to work as expected.

 Let me know if this works for you.
