Ah yes, I forgot about that. I was assuming you'd need access to the
live DB for this.

I don't know. Cursory inspection seems to indicate user_properties is
relatively complete, but comprehensive count queries are too slow for
me to dare run them on the cluster. Maybe you could run something
along the lines of SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT up_user) FROM
user_properties; on the toolserver and compare it with SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM user;

Maybe; but the fact that the field is present but set to 0 in the
parser cache key is very weird. SVN blame should probably be able to
tell who did this and hopefully why.
