If $user['receivepms'] == 0 then administrators can't send pm to user!
I think "inc/datahandlers/pm.php" must have this change:

Now is:

			// See if the sender is on the recipients ignore list and that either
			// - admin_override is set or
			// - sender is an administrator
			if($this->admin_override != true && $sender_permissions['cancp'] != 1)
			{
				$ignorelist = explode(",", $user['ignorelist']);
				foreach($ignorelist as $uid)
				{
					if($uid == $pm['fromid'])
					{
						$this->set_error("recipient_is_ignoring", array($user['username']));
					}
				}
			}
	
			// Can the recipient actually receive private messages based on their permissions or user setting?
			if($user['receivepms'] == 0 || $recipient_permissions['canusepms'] == 0 && !$pm['saveasdraft'])
			{
				$this->set_error("recipient_pms_disabled", array($user['username']));
				return false;
			}

After change will be: (as a suggestion)

			// See if the sender is on the recipients ignore list and that either
			// - admin_override is set or
			// - sender is an administrator
			if($this->admin_override != true && $sender_permissions['cancp'] != 1)
			{
				$ignorelist = explode(",", $user['ignorelist']);
				foreach($ignorelist as $uid)
				{
					if($uid == $pm['fromid'])
					{
						$this->set_error("recipient_is_ignoring", array($user['username']));
					}
				}

				// Can the recipient actually receive private messages based on their permissions or user setting?
				if($user['receivepms'] == 0 || $recipient_permissions['canusepms'] == 0 && !$pm['saveasdraft'])
				{
					$this->set_error("recipient_pms_disabled", array($user['username']));
					return false;
				}
			}
