Very tricky topic which has been very well explained! This will be a great reference when dealing with users wishing to use alternate accounts for whatever reason.

As for the testing accounts part, I use multiple accounts for testing. I tend to keep my "backup" account (who knows why I would need one, though :P) to rights testing, like the addition and removal of rights, as well as the default interface. I use a lot of JS... Heh. Bot accounts can often serve a similar purpose, though they might be a little more touchy when it comes to rights testing, as some users don't seem to appreciate AdminBots.
