Description
Initially we took an upgrade path of 1.6.2 -> 1.9 path. However, many aspects of our site appeared scrambled/broken. We therefore opted for an upgrade of 1.6.2 -> 1.8.2 -> 1.9, since another of our moodle installs had successfully been upgraded from 1.6 -> 1.8 last year. This upgrade was all done in a single hour. Once we upgraded, non-admin users found they couldn't edit their profiles. We eventually established that users were being treated as "Guests" when viewing their profiles. This was because in Site administration -> Users -> Permissions -> User policies, the "Default role for all users" was set to "Guest" rather than "Authenticated User". No changes had been make to this part of the site set up so I can only conclude that it defaulted to "Guest" after upgrade rather than "Authenticated User", which led to some very confusing behaviour.

Perhaps it would be great to make the complete process:
1) Installl 1.6
2) Upgrade to 1.8.2
3) Upgrade to 1.9 +
and check what happens with admin?
If reproducible, I think we could review defaults for that setting in upgrade, perhaps something is wrong there.
