Yes. Cross-wiki user rights changes happen on meta but they are targeted at a
specific user ID. Unfortunately Echo doesn't check which wiki the ID is from
and will send a notification to a local user with the same ID as the target
user on the remote wiki. This is -very- unlikely to be the correct account.

The wrong user getting notified that they have had a rights change, so not a
week but it probably shouldn't happen today unless it can be fixed before then.
Notifications really should not go out to the wrong users, that's a big problem
as far as I'm concerned.

This is not really what I'd call a 'tweak'...
