 Hello, in the function wp_dropdown_roles() located in wp-
 admin/includes/template.php there is a bug.

 More specifically, around line 855 you can find
 {{{
 if ( $selected == $role ) // preselect specified role
 }}}

 In this condition you are comparing 2 strings, therefore the correct
 operator for comparison is "===". If compared only with "==" then the
 preselected role is wrong if the site has custom roles. Also the {}
 brackets are missing, but this is ok...

 Please consider fixing it in the next version :)
