user_can() not working as expected for specific role

Hi there,

I spend a lot of time supporting BuddyPress and I’ve been investigating an issue in relation to a bp capability ‘bp_moderate’ This gives users the ability to moderate a bp site. However I’ve come across an issue where user_can() does not seem to be working correctly.

$contributor = get_role( 'contributor' );
$contributor->add_cap( 'bp_moderate');

IF I fetch the userdata for one of my contributors, I can see that included in the capabilities array is bp_moderate and this is set to true.

However, user_can($user_id, ‘bp_moderate’) for the same user returns false.

So it seems for that capability, something odd is happening. How could that be?
