Comment(by dd32):

 > the issue, however, is that we can't really add this in the users table
 either -- we'd need an extra column *per* site, unless the roles are
 shared across all sites. that would be a much more major change, but not
 necessarily a bad one.

 Why not just prefix the metafield like is currently done for each install?
 Remember that shared usertables do not have the DB prefix on them, but the
 capability keys are prefixed by each blogs prefix, ie wp_, wp_1_, wp_2_
 etc
