Comment (by nacin):

 What about:
  * An upgrade routine (e.g. upgrade_350, 360, etc) renames $wpdb->prefix .
 'user_roles' to 'user_roles'
  * We change any reference(s) in core to 'user_roles', which is mostly
 just the change in WP_Roles
  * In WP_Roles, if 'user_roles' doesn't exist, it falls back to
 $wpdb->prefix . 'user_roles'. If it does this in the admin, it renames the
 option
  * We use the option_{$wpdb->prefix}_user_roles filter (maybe
 default_option_*) to fall back to 'user_roles' in case anyone is
 referencing it directly
