System Information
Operating system: Windows 10
Graphics card: Intel

Blender Version
Broken: 2.80 January 7th build
(example: 2.79b release)
(example: 2.80, edbf15d3c0, blender2.8, 2018-11-28, as found on the splash screen)
Worked: 2.79 January 7th build

Short description of error
In Blender 2.79 master the vertex paint tools received a few improvements, one of which was the ability to mask vertices, instead of just faces when painting. This feature exists and works in 2.80, but does not appear in the header UI of the vertex paint mode, and is only visible in weight paint. The feature can be enabled in weight paint, and still works if the user switches to vertex paint, so it seems like a simple UI omission. The feature is definitely valuable in both modes.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open empty scene (assuming it contains a cube)
Switch to weight paint mode. Notice there are two masking toggle buttons next to the mode selection dropdown for face and vertex masking. Enable vertex masking.
Switch to vertex paint. Notice the vertex masking button has gone.
Select a single vertex of the cube and try painting a non-selected vertex. Notice that only the selected vertex can be painted. The feature works, but the UI toggle button is missing.

Confirmed, checking...

While the painting feature works, the selection of vertices for masking doesnt work in vertex paint (it only does in weight paint)
Button was specifically removed in e8e812fb1d.

Will have a quick look if supporting the vertex selection masking in vertex paint is easy to be added, otherwise this might be a known limitation...

This was mostly missing drawing, I guess D4177 fixes this (I am unaware of other things that prevent this from working...)
