Comment(by ryan):

 $wp_roles is created on the fly when certain functions in capabilities.php
 are called.  When there is no current user, such as in the case of cron
 events, $wp_roles does not get created.  Thus the error now that
 count_users() is accessing $wp_roles.  I think we can move instantiation
 of $wp_roles to wp-settings.php along with the other global object
 instances.
