Additional info
It seems that GridView is using DataProvider's getKeys method to index rows with data-key attribute. And user switching JS is using this key to build AJAX query to switch the user.
DataProvider does have parameter key that you can configure to get correct value as key. But problem is that there is no possibility (that I know of) to configure User panel so that DataProvider would use correct key.
