Comment (by tnash):

 Just wanted to re-ignite this ticket, recently came across a good example
 of where multiple roles and the way they were displayed could cause
 issues. If a user has both a subscriber role and an administrator role
 (for example the admin role added via wp-cli) then they are showing in the
 admin area user list with the role subscriber. While they do show up under
 administrator filter again, with role subscriber.

 This can easily be confusing, and also allow someone to obfuscate their
 real role (I'm aware if someone could add a role, they can as easily add
 capabilities but still)

 If nothing else showing the role with the most number of capabilities or
 if a role has edit options capability give it precedence over others.
