Comment (by flixos90):

 [attachment:36961.8.diff] brings back the `__call()` method to be more
 backward-compatible.

 @jeremyfelt
 > When called from site 1, `new WP_User( $user_id, '', 2 )` provides a
 user object that contains only roles assigned to the user that exist on
 both site 1 and 2. This is primarily because `wp_roles()` is used to
 populate available roles without switching site context.

 Not sure I understand. I think the site context is switched, see
 `get_role_caps()`. Or do you mean something else?

 Regarding [attachment:36961.7.diff], `wp_get_users_with_no_role()` and
 `count_users()`, I think all of these should be dealt with through
 separate tickets that can be merged shortly after this one and #38645.
 Some of the fixes might also be based on the improved foundation that
 #38645 will introduce.
