Not an answer to the question, but a workaround.
I found that using the Custom Post Type UI plugin to create the custom datatype would offer new capabilities, as long as I changed the Capability Type field.
Using the User Role Editor plugin seems to allow me to bridge the permissions with a custom user role.
