Microsoft SharePoint 2010 SP1 Enterprise Edition CU Dec 2012 and I created a BI Center site. I broke inheritance and gave a user Design permission to the BI Center site.
With my Farm Administrator account, I can go to Site Actions - New Page and type in a name and it will put it in the Pages Library. I select Create and I create the page. Logging on as the user with Design permissions I do the same but when I select Create after putting in a name I know is NOT in the Pages library I get error:
Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
ULS shows:

To make it easier to read I have it listed here in graphic form.
If I go to the site as a Farm Administrator I am OK but with Full Control permissions, I still can't create anything.
