Comment (by jdorner):

 If you are having the problem of users with a custom user role not being
 displayed as an option in the wp_dropdown_users list, you can change their
 role to any role other than subscriber(?) and then back. This will add a
 [wp_]user_level value other than 0 to their usermeta and they will be
 displayed.
