That's also a broken (user) interface, but not the one fixed by the
"Local roles improvement patch" which is included in 0.8.8b1.  That one
is a code interface issue: in order to find out what local roles a user
has over an object, it asks for a list of all local roles for *all*
users, and then pulls out the information for the one particular user. 
The patch fixes that, making local roles computation much more
efficient.
