I assume this is true for 4.7 as well?

http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/function/hook_perm makes no mention of t() either way.

There is no need to use t() here, since the string extractor takes care of extracting permission names defined in the perm hook for translation. It might be more consistent to use t() all over the user_acess() calls, but it seems superfluos. The permission names are translateable, they are just a special case in the extractor, and are t()-ed on the display of the permission table.

Thanks Gabor for the explanation. :) Maybe someone who has the power to do that could add a small comment about this on the api documentation: http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/function/hook_perm
