Comment:

 This behaviour was being relied upon by BuddyPress, and seems that the
 fields that this is now limited to, might not cover all cases used by
 other plugins - particularly authentication or user-sync plugins.

 I'm re-opening this with that in mind,

 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8694

 I'll also note, that passing `'fields' => 'all'` to WP_User_Query results
 in it returning more fields than what passing all the 'valid' fields will
 result in.

 eg. passing 'all' allows for returning the `user_pass`,
 `user_activation_key `, `user_status`, `spam`, and `deleted` fields which
 are not present in the allowed fields list in r53255.
