 * Bizarrely enough the problem now resolved itself despite me not touching anything.
   Perhaps some cache-related issue that ended up with my browser confusing WordPress.
   Waiting seems to have helped.
 * Still, thanks for the support.

 * The `define()` and `add_db_server()` calls turned out to be unchanged from the
   original file. The other settings were written below the comment block describing
   the variables.
 * Changing `$shardb_dataset`‘s value didn’t seem to help. I still get the same 
   error except that I now also get a database error when opening blogs – WordPress
   now can’t find the `wp_site` table anymore. It’s definitely in the `foo_bar_global`
   database, though.
 * I tried `var_dump()`ing the `$db_servers` and `$db_ds_parts` variables at the
   end of _db\_settings.php_ but couldn’t find anything that seemed obviously wrong.
   Still I’ll describe it in case something is wrong and I’m not seeing it.
 * `$db_servers` is populated with two datasets, the `global` dataset containing
   exactly one entry (at `$db_servers['global'][0][0]`) and the `foo_bar` dataset
   containing one entry per non-global table, with incrementing `part`.
 * `$db_ds_parts` assigns databases to partitions, with `foo_bar_global` being assigned
   to `global_0` and the others to `foo_bar_(incrementing number)`.

 * Unfortunately this makes the user namespace global. My question not about not
   being able to write, it’s about sharing usernames.
 * The sites in this network are completely independent of each other and use the
   User Access Manager plugin to have pages accessible only to logged-in users. 
   The site owners expect to be able to use arbitrary usernames for their users –
   if their blog’s user list has no user called “smith” they expect to be able to
   create one.
 * With regular WordPress users they can only do so if no other blog has a user 
   called “smith”. That is unacceptable; the blog owners expect to have no restrictions
   over what a single-site WordPress installation would give them.
 * If there is no elegant way of doing this in Multisite I’ll just port the code
   over. It’s not pretty (especially in how it still litters the global user table
   with dummy entries) but at least it gets the job done…

 * Yes, that helped, thank you.
