The 'poweruser' group doesn't gain any special rights... rather, it seems to just be a flag set so that local admins and wikia staff can find the more active users much easier. Think of it like something that's saying "Hey, this user edits a lot!"

EDIT: Or at least, that's what it's meant to mean. If it's saying otherwise, feel free to report it as a bug to Staff.
