Comment:

 I think the problem is the user level.

 In my experience the idea of having separate user tables is good for WP
 hosting in a single install, but not for a network like wordpress.com.

 I think it could be an checkbox option while installing the multisite:
 "Separate user table for each blog?"

 If the admin turns it on it should:
 - create a separate wp_$blogID_users and wp_$blogID_usermeta tables for
 each blog to hold all the users that belongs to that blog.
 - create a central wp_users and wp_usermeta tables to hold network admins.

 In this case, if the admin promote a blog user to manage the network it
 will replicate the user to wp_users.

 The same thing happens if someone is trying to create a new user in the
 wp_$blogID_users but that user exists in wp_users, it will only replicate
 to wp_$blogID_users.

 Also this is very good to host blogs that want themes like the ones in the
 AppThemes...
