Comment(by deannas):

 I think the problem lies in wp-admin\includes\user.php. I think the
 function get_editable_user_ids should be rearranged so that the site admin
 part of the function happens first, and the admin should always be in the
 drop down if it's an admin editing the page or post. Anyone want to try
 the following function instead? (Function starts on line 247.)

 {{{
 function get_editable_user_ids( $user_id, $exclude_zeros = true,
 $post_type = 'post' ) {
         global $wpdb;

         $user = new WP_User( $user_id );

         if (is_site_admin()) {
                 $level_key = $wpdb->prefix . 'capabilities'; // wpmu site
 admins don't have user_levels

                 $query = $wpdb->prepare("SELECT user_id FROM
 $wpdb->usermeta WHERE meta_key = %s", $level_key);
                 if ( $exclude_zeros )
                         $query .= " AND meta_value !=
 'a:1:{s:10:\"subscriber\";b:1;}'";

                 $return = $wpdb->get_col( $query );

                 if (is_site_admin()) {
                         array_push($return, $user_id);
                 }

                 return $return;

         }

         if ( ! $user->has_cap("edit_others_{$post_type}s") ) {
                 if ( $user->has_cap("edit_{$post_type}s") ||
 $exclude_zeros == false )
                         return array($user->id);
                 else {
                         return array();
                         }
         }



 }
 }}}
