Comment:

 adding to the previous comment, this line in update_user_meta():

         $wpdb->update( $wpdb->usermeta, $data, $where );

 is plain wrong, in the sense that it would need to do:

  - if single, make sure a single key is left in there
  - if multi, make sure all keys are marked as not single

 but I'd rather get a 2nd opinion/dev feedback before things move any
 further. the likelyhood is this ticket may end up as wontfix due to the
 huge potential for bugs.
