I agree for the most part, but I always hesitate when I see the words "I 
don't think people will..." since we all know that all people are 
different.  I *personally* would look for access control with users (or 
at least near users: as in, admin>user access control), but that's just 
me... and at the end of the day, I don't care where I find it as long as 
the functionality exists :)

How about the following local tasks is users:

Users (default - currently called list)
  -Add User (local task to users>users)
Roles
-Add Role (local task to users>roles)
Configure

3 tabs that are very specific to users and nothing else. (I know that 
list is a standard Drupal thing, but it is completely non descriptive, 
and in this case 'list' wouldn't differentiate between listing users and 
listing roles)

As for access control: leave it outside of users, and have its local 
tasks be:

Permissions (default)
Rules

Nothing else (until such time that new access control features exist)
