This one was my fault.  I just patched it here:

Ryan just committed the fix.

Two issues:
	- We need to make sure the wp_user_level entries are created for all  
users (they're now created whenever someone else edits you)
	- We need to switch that dropdown box to use capabilities anyway

In the future, yeah, although it certainly doesn't hurt mentioning  
them here on wp-testers.  Excellent bug reports, by the way!
