I would agree except that seems to ignore the fact that the "editmyoptions"
permission exists.

In any case, this is not a wiki I set up.  I was helping someone on the Support
Desk figure out why they couldn't edit their preferences.

To be clear, their LocalSettings.php contains the following line:

   $wgGroupPermissions['*']['editmyoptions'] = false;

It looks like the interpretation of permissions changed between 1.22 and 1.23
because, when I take a new installation of MW 1.22 and 1.23, the permissions
for 'editmyoptions' don't change.  Instead, they remain as if they were the
following:

   $wgGroupPermissions['*']['editmyoptions'] = true;
   $wgGroupPermissions['user']['editmyoptions'] = false;

In the meantime, 'edit' is set to true for both '*' and 'user'.  Now that I
look at this, I think what the person needs to do in 1.23 is 

   $wgGroupPermissions['*']['editmyoptions'] = false;
   $wgGroupPermissions['user']['editmyoptions'] = true;
