Description
A user with the read_hidden_forums cap can see a list of all hidden forums, but cannot see the topics. When clicking through to a hidden forum they are instead redirected to 404.

I've got the same problem. Described here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-you-make-a-private-forum-visible-to-some-wordpress-classes#post-89350
Giving the user "edit_others_forums" cap didn't solve it for me though. I keep getting the 404 error.
Update/edit: After some hard refreshes it seemed to work with that cap in the end after all.

Can we confirm this is still an issue on latest branch? I can't duplicate it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Attached patch seems to confirm this issue is resolved.
Recommend deactivating and reactivating bbPress to flush the caps for good measure.
Reopen if you can duplicate this in a specific way.

Negative, running 2.0-rc2, deactivated and reactivated, users still require "edit_others_forums" cap to read a hidden forum. This is true for both a remote server and a local dev setup (completely fresh install). I can provide server access if you want to kick the tires on my remote install.
The user can read single topics/replies in the hidden forum without edit_others_forums, just cannot read the single forum page itself.
