Bingo!

We have a custom role in our project sites that has section.role.student 
selected - the same as the access role.
Never knew this was an issue, thanks Qu!

Shame it can't be overridden by fixing up in !site.helper, as it's a 
permission removal not addition. Still, we know what to do now.

Thanks everyone - are there any other "gotchas" like this one?
It would seem worthwhile collecting them together so they might at least 
become searchable via Google etc. as they aren't necessarily in JIRA (I 
couldn't find this glitch in bugs.sakai).

Best regards
