My first idea was to only show the menu item HowToUseWiki from conf.xml to
authenticated users because guests won't be able to edit pages anyway. So
the check is only done for the 6 menu items which are selected during the
wicked setup.

Maybe it would be a better idea to set this on conf.xml. e.g.:
Should we only show links with read permissions? The permission check tests
only automated links like menu items, page listing or search results. Links
inside a wiki page won?t be affected. This is a performance hit, but may be
okay on smaller installations. [true/false]

Of course this would mean some more programming... but I think if we really
want to do something to hide links, it would be worth the work. 
I agree about PERMS_READ. The show permission doesn?t make much sense here.
