Consider the following sequence of steps:

in database 1:
user A grants privilege to group B with grant option
user C who is in group B grants privilege to user D

in database 2:
superuser removes user C from group B

--> user D still has the privilege, because superuser doesn't have access to  
database 1 from his session

If you can live with this problem, then you can remove the check from the 
source code and it should work.
