I found the problem.
After some sleuthing, and changing the name "Employee" to "Emplopee" in the
table and noting the failure to find the right role, I ran:

sswbooks=# select entity__list_classes();
 entity__list_classes
----------------------
 (1,Vendor,t)
 (2,Customer,t)
 (3,Employee,t)
 (4,Contact,t)
 (5,Lead,t)
 (6,Referral,t)
 (7,"Hot Lead",t)
 (8,"Cold Lead",t)

looks good, but when logged as myself:

sswbooks=> select entity__list_classes();
 entity__list_classes
----------------------
 (3,Employee,t)
(1 row)

I used setup.pl to edit my account, finding some seemingly random boxes
unchecked. I checked them all, and now I have all options in the drop-down.

May I suggest that this is entirely the wrong approach to a user interface?

It's great to drive the permissions from database permissions, but I think
that all of the options should be visible, just not selectable.
