Comment (by philipwalton):

 Nacin, thanks for the feedback.

 I don't know if this matters, but where I'm currently using this function
 is not in a deactivation hook, but rather in the uninstall.php file. I've
 tested it on my multisite blog, and it does seem to work well. Are you
 recommending not running the code I've posted?

 As far as putting the onus on super admins to clean up options, while it
 would be nice, it doesn't seem reliable. How are they to know specifically
 what options each plugin they activate is saving to the database?

 It seems to me that the onus should be on the plugin developers.
