Comment (by ryanduff):

 I'll also add that while I later discovered this resulted a bug in network
 admin, I first noticed it when trying to get and display a user's role on
 another site in a multisite install via the following method:


 {{{
 $user = new WP_User( $user_id, '', $site_id );
 $role = reset( $user->roles );
 }}}

 If that runs on the $site_id I'm checking the correct role is displayed.
 However, if I'm on site 2, and pass in 3 as $site_id, I get an empty array
 back.
