Description
Reported by Owen Gray on wp-testers
Admin not is shown as an option in the "Post Author" dropdown box on the
Write Post page. That dropdown box does not appear when admin is the
only user. After an new user is added, only that user's nickname appears
in the dropdown box.
I notice that the added user has a "wp_user_level" entry in the
wp_usermeta table, but admin does not. If I add such an entry for admin,
admin appears as a choice in the dropdown list.

A workaround is to create a second Administrator account, then use that account to change 'admin' to an Editor, save the changes, then back to Administrator, and save the changes again. That should create the "wp_user_level" entry for admin, and cause it to appear in the dropdown list.
I see two problems:
