[wp-hackers] get_users() magic methods revisited

[Mike Walsh]

That is my suspicion as well.  I don't have an answer yet as to what
version of PHP and what version of WordPress the person reporting the
problem is running on.  According to the Codex, the WP_Users magic methods
were added in 3.3 so it is hard for me to believe this user is using a
version of WordPress that old.
