 That's correct. Ref: revoke_super_admin():
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-
 admin/includes/ms.php?rev=15590#L745

 Would have been nicer had I written those functions to return WP_Error. We
 can probably still do that, as I doubt anyone is really checking the
 return values of those functions. But in lieu of that, we can hide that
 checkbox and add a string noting that the network admin email matches this
 user.

 It's worth noting that the network admin email does not make a super
 admin. It simply prevents them from losing their privileges. Seems
 inconsistent.
