 Regardless of a user's capabilities, that user will not be able to edit
 other blog user's profiles unless they are a Site Admin.

 See /wp-admin/user-edit.php, line 63:

 // Only allow site admins to edit every user.
 if ( !is_site_admin() && ($user_id != $current_user->ID) )
    wp_die( __( 'You do not have permission to edit this user.' ) );

 WPMU should allow anyone with the "edit_user" capability to edit users.
 At a minimum, individual blog admins should be able to edit their users.

 One possible solution is here: http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15334

 Really, it would be more ideal to make this pluggable though so the
 default behavior can be overridden if desired.
