That worked for me, Dont have any caches enabled?

However, Since WP has the Custom meta table define, Maybe it needs one so as to respect the meta table prefixes?

eg, In  your case, It attempts to load "wp_jv_capabilities" from the table "wp_usermeta", while "wp_usermeta" contains a "wp_capabilities" hey instead...
