Why does my custom WP role need edit_posts to edit images?

If I had to guess: because images are Attachments, and Attachments are a Post-Type. Thus, in order to edit an image, which is an attachment, which is a post, requires the edit_post capability.

EDIT

Don’t you have your capability mapping array keys/values reversed?

e.g. you have 'edit_posts' => 'edit_listings'. Shouldn’t it instead be 'edit_listings' => 'edit_posts'?
