Comment:

 Got it.  Just need to make sure {{{$role}}} is set before updating it.
 When you edit your profile, $role won't be set, so it passes.  Tested the
 uploaded patch and it works.

 If anyone was bitten by this bug, do this:

 {{{
 UPDATE your_wp_usermeta SET meta_value = 'a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}'
 WHERE meta_key = 'your_wp_capabilities' AND user_id = '1';
 }}}

 Obviously, replace {{{your_wp_usermeta}}} with your usermeta table name,
 and "1" with the user ID affected.  Then {{{rm -rf}}} your {{{/wp-
 content/cache/}}} directory.

 Thanks Owen Gray for the nice report!
