Reading your actual bug report thread it sounds like the application is trying to return an inconsistent view of the file system to what Finder is expecting which is potentially causing Finder to behave in an inconsistent manner. The application (Finder) asked for something it expected and didn't get it and is understandably confused. As far as Finder is concerned the path doesn't exist. Additionally it may not entirely be Finder doing this but some deeper call that Finder relies upon.
My observation would be that to get there you needed to at least know about the user once. While it might not be possible for the application to return all of the users, for this particular bug at least the user is known. A list of recently accessed users paths could be stored in memory and returned in the root level listing which would prevent Finder being presented an inconsistent view of the world. Inconsistent file systems result in inconsistent behaviours. This is not a MacFUSE or Finder bug but a Wuala bug.
