Description
Hello,
Great module, thanks for providing it.
I had a role named 'Supervisors/Leads' setup in my access control and when I tried to provide a userlist for my role the tab wouldn't work properly. The url printed as http://www.sitename.com/userlist/roles/Supervisors/Leads, which doesn't work.
So, I renamed the role to 'Supervisors & Leads'. The resulting url was http://www.sitename.com/userlist/roles/Supervisors_%2526_Leads, which did work.

I created a role named "author/writer" and then tried to debug it. PHP's urlencode() and rawurlencode() functions won't parse out the / since in URL syntax it's a valid directory divider and it can't really know about Drupal's clean URL replacements in .htaccess. The proper replacement like you did for the slash is
%2fwhich breaks Drupal's URL rewrite in .htaccess and then doesn't even get picked up to be parsed by Drupal. The end result is the bland Apache 404 page (not even Drupal's clean 404) because it actually looks for that directory on the server.userlist/roles/author%2fwriter
In the shadow of that URL, I'm saying don't put slashes in your roles.

Can probably edit the module to use role ID numbers instead of text in the URL.
