Yes, we’ve had this unfortunate bug for years. The new topic is checked against the permission of the “first day” user. It just doesn’t come up a whole lot in the wild, which is why we never took the time to properly fix it yet. 😉

I also advise you NOT to keep this setting modified as it’ll open your site up to abuse.
