When "Allow public viewing?" is check on general settings, if custom permissions are set, that book/page/chapter become non public.

Example:
user 1, role 1
user 2, role 2
*Allow public viewing enable

user 1 create a book -> book is public for all but user 2 can't edit it.
Enable custom permissions over that book and give role 2 edit permissions.
user 2 can edit it but the book is not more public.

The solution maybe would be adding a checkbox at custom permission that tag the book/chapter/page as public when you enable custom permissions.
