 > [27822] fixes this for 3.9. I wouldn't call this critical simply because
 an installation with a pre-existing user table is rare and implies
 detailed knowledge of the underbelly of WordPress, and the workaround is
 easy enough.

 may be.
 I'd disagree about that being uncommon. In the scenario where I ran into
 this I was setting up a new site that was based off of the user's database
 of an existing, 5 year old site.

 To me, that seems like a very common scenario when setting up sites with
 shared user tables.
