 1. Registered a new user on the root site of a 3.3.2 multisite install
 with custom role of Copy-Editor (created via Members plugin).

 2. Before confirming, user wanted a different username, so tried creating
 a new user with correct user name. Correctly denied, as email address in
 use for an unconfirmed user.

 3. Got user to confirm account with incorrect name.

 4. Deleted user from site, and tried to creating a new user with correct
 user name. Correctly denied, as email address still in use for a network
 user who isn't linked to any sites.

 5. Deleted network user.

 Now, here's where I think the bug is:

 6. Tried creating a new user with correct user name. Incorrectly given the
 message: "That email address has already been used. Please check your
 inbox for an activation email. It will become available in a couple of
 days if you do nothing."

 Main issue is that I don't believe there is a pending or confirmed user
 with that email address in the system, yet the address is tied up
 somewhere.

 Minor issue is the wording of the message - the email address in question
 does not match the site admin email, or the email address for the account
 I'm logged in with, so in most cases, it's never going to be "my" inbox.
