If this is during the installation process, and the table doesn't even
exist yet, isn't it a fair bet that there are no users?

Failing that (perhaps installing against an existing table for a
shared install of some sort?) Maybe you need to do a direct, manual
check first to confirm that the table exists (SHOW TABLES LIKE
'{$prefix}users'), and then use get_users_of_blog() if it does, or
assume no users if the table doesn't exist.
