 > Can we do something smart like not sending a notice for the
 get_user_locale() instance -- perhaps via backtrace detection -- and keep
 the rest in place?

 I don't think so, because this is just the way WordPress is going to work
 now. It may actually be for the better, since BuddyPress was originally
 was of the big offenders of this back-in-the-day when we would load the
 current user early and send them to purgatory of they were a spammer.

 BuddyPress too?

 I think so, yes, but it needs testing to confirm. BuddyPress doesn't use
 primitive roles yet, but it has used mapped capabilities for a long while,
 and we've wanted to have primitive roles for a long while.
