Comment (by nacin):

 I'm reverting this from the network admin. It was modeled after the
 profile editing hooks, but the profile editor in the network admin is a
 direct inclusion of wp-admin/user-edit.php.

 In this case, wp-admin/network/user-new.php is *not* the same as wp-admin
 /user-new.php. The function edit_user() is not used.  We could rename the
 hook to network_user_new_form, but there is no obvious hook to manipulate
 the data that is coming in. wpmu_create_user() is used directly in this
 context.

 wp-admin/user-new.php and wp-admin/network/user-new.php need a bit of an
 overhaul to clean up the supremely hacky multisite handling in both
 contexts. The network form is also a skeleton — user and email only. The
 context is significantly different, and while it can be handled with an
 is_network_admin() check, it's more likely that someone will attach a
 callback to user_new_form and end up creating a non-working field in the
 network admin.
