quickUserCan( $permission ) returns boolean based on what permission is checked
for. Permissions are not cascading, so quickUserCan( 'createtalk' ) does NOT
imply 'createtalk' && 'edit'.

If someone is making use of quickUserCan() in their code, they should
understand the permission model of MediaWiki, which is outlined here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights

In order to create a new talkpage, both the 'edit' and 'createtalk' rights are
required. Sometimes you need more than one right to do an action.

I see no bug in MediaWiki.
