So... I decided to try it, and it seems like it doesn't work, at least on my system. I get the usernames, but the passwords are shot. I suspect that this is because I'm going from a G5 Mac to an Intel Mac, and there is a difference in bit order, which trashes the blobs.
Any thoughts on how to migrate users without having to ask them to all reset their passwords. I suppose that not being able to do this is a good thing, in terms of security.

I think this has been asked before but I can't seem to find the answer. I have a bunch of wikis on two different servers. I want users of wiki A to get the same usernames, passwords, etc on wiki B, in addition to having users who are only on wiki B. Can I just do an sql dump from the user table of wiki A and import the data into the user table of wiki B? I mean, I know I can do it, but will it have the desired effect?
