I had a problem where I found it impossible to give the permission for a user other that uid1 to either create or edit a field collection. I traced the problem to an incorrect call to field_access(). Patch to follow.

I just re-ran into this bug over at #1393194: Access bypass in field_collection...

Trying to figure out how field_access() is supposed to work is hard given the unclear API docs. Y'all might be interested in my patch at #1393234: API docs for field_access() are confusing (and maybe willing to RTBC it). ;)

Cheers,
