 In a WP network installation the current_user_can() function returns false
 even if the current user actually has the capability.

 eg.
 printing the $current_user global variable shows:

 {{{
 WP_User Object
 (
     ....

     [allcaps] => Array
         (
             [read] => 1
             [publish_posts] => 1
             [edit_posts] => 1
             [delete_posts] => 1
             [edit_published_posts] => 1
             [delete_published_posts] => 1
             [upload_files] => 1
             [unfiltered_html] => 1
             [level_0] => 1
             [level_1] => 1
             [level_2] => 1
             [author] => 1
         )
 )
 }}}

 Which shows that the user has the 'unfiltered_html' capability, but
 current_user_can('unfiltered_html') returns false.

 If it is useful, I am running this inside a 'mce_buttons' filter. The
 $current_user global is properly populated as shown above.

 Works fine on a single-site installation.
