I am confusing them. I found the solution in some existing code. The solution
isn't to add the role, but rather to edit the user and provide a new list of
roles, like so:

   member = context.portal_membership.getMemberById(userid)
   context.acl_users.userFolderEditUser(userid, \
                                        None, \
                                        new_roles, \    <---- here!
                                        member.getDomains())

The API documentation might be sufficient, however, it's quite difficult to find
the correct method in the first place. Anyway, problem solved.
