Research direction
Start by reading the discussion in WordPress Trac ticket 22415, since the issue provides no file or test entry point. Determine the permission behavior that must move from filtering user_has_cap to using map_meta_cap; done means the permissions follow that approach and existing behavior remains covered by tests.
