I (and most of the people in consulting that I've worked with or met) have always just used it to mean "An end user who actually can find the enter key with both hands and a flashlight" as opposed to normal end users who... well, you get the idea. Amazingly enough, there never seems to be more than one super-user per application at any company I've worked at or installed at and they usually end up going to work for a consulting company not too long after the installation is done. Go figure.
