On site where anonymous users can't create any content, i have "create content" menu item set to be expanded. Anonymous users can see that item, even though they can't create anything.

I have verified that this is indeed a problem. What happens is that the menu item is given the "visible in tree" status when you edit it, and this cannot be altered through the existing menu interface. There is another issue which addresses this problem, however the patch needs further development.

In the meantime, the solution is to manually tweak the menu type in the database:
update menu set type=316 where title='create content';

I'm closing this issue as a duplicate... please head over to http://drupal.org/node/29621 and give a big +1 vote to the patch that will really fix this problem.
