Item2380: i think that Func::checkAccessPremission lies if a topic doesn't exist.

    return Foswiki::Func::checkAccessPermission(
            'CHANGE', $user, '', $groupName, $groupWeb);

when $groupName does not exist as a topic, the Func code creates a Meta object that returns true, even though is should not?

unit test to follow.

I'm trying to fix Item9512 - checkAccessPermission should check web permission when topic is undef (or null).

So is this related. If a topic does not exist, should the permissions be based upon the permissions set in WebPreferences? ie. check CHANGE on non-existing topic should return true if the web permits that topic to be changed (and in this case created?)

Setting to Closed - discussion on IRC - this is probably correct behavior. Added a unit test verify this operation.
