right.

NO! This again would only target the problem at dspam_stats but not fix the issue.

Again. The problem needs to be solved differently. Regardless if virtual user or not. As I have written before there are only a bunch of states regarding _ds_get_nextuser():
* No user has been retrieved jet
* A user has been retrieved ...
 * ... and there are more users to be retrieved
 * ... and there are no more user to be retrieved
* Retrieving a user has failed
 * ... and there are more users to be retrieved
 * ... and there are no more user to be retrieved
* There are no more users to be retrieved/listed

The solution to the problem you have mentioned is to handle those conditions in code. And it is not a solution to go and patch dspam_stats to handle something that should anyway not exist in the first place.

It is pretty much the same as with "everything in a database" that you are often asking for. The problem is that the foundation of DSPAM is not build properly for such a move. Adding everything in a database will not solve one single problem. It will only create more problems. And I don't like that kind of solutions.

Better is to fix the foundation AND THEN extend.

If you fix the foundation then I am the first one to support the capability to add everything in a database. That is for sure. But just having everything in a database is ultra giga pointless.
