 Currently, `switch_to_blog()` does not change the `$current_blog` global
 set of variables.  So functions such as `is_main_site()` will continue to
 use the previous set blog id.

 So for example if you switch to another blog while acting as a site admin
 to flush rewrite rules on a non-main blog, the non-main blog gets the
 main-blog-specific rewrite rules.

 My general suggestion is that we move `$current_blog` into a function like
 `get_current_blog` and not count on the global to be populated correctly,
 then replace `$current_blog` global variable references with calls to
 `get_current_blog`, which will handle the current blog situation
 correctly.
