 This issue was fixed in version 4.4 per
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/23316

 The latest version of WP the issue resurfaced.

 function add_menu_page position values that conflict will either hide
 primary side menu items or the side menu items will hide the new menu
 pages:

 Defining the position value as 0 or 1 causes the new menu item to hide the
 Dashboard menu item.

 Defining the position value as 2 causes the Dashboard menu item to hide
 the new menu item.

 Defining the position value as 3 or 4 causes the new menu item to hide the
 Posts menu item.

 Defining the position value as 5 causes the Posts menu item to hide the
 new menu item.

 I didn't research it any further but there is definitely a reintroduction
 of the bug that was previously resolved.

 There is no method of defining position to display a new menu item above
 Dashboard or between Dashboard and Posts. If 2 menu items are created with
 defined position values between 0-4 then both the Dashboard and Posts menu
 item are hidden or hide the new menu items depending on the defined
 values.
