Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Hi there, thanks for the patch!

 This seems intentional, as the `publish_posts` (plural) capability does
 not require a post ID, and there are a lot of other places in core that
 don't pass an ID.

 Only the [source:tags/5.3/src/wp-
 includes/capabilities.php?marks=257-273#L248 publish_post] (singular) meta
 capability requires an ID. By default, it falls back to `publish_posts`,
 or `edit_others_posts` if the associated post type is no longer available.
