Comment:

 I can confirm the fix does allow `administrator` to access to screen.
 However, as @costdev noted, it now also allows access to the `editor`
 capability via URL.

 An editor does not have access to the classic Menus screen (Appearance >
 Menus) via direct `/wp-admin/nav-menus.php` URL or from the sidebar menus.

 Though the fix does resolve the original reported issue, it needs to also
 deny access to non-admins.

 Moving to 5.9.1.
