Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Cycles Render-

Add a Cube
Select Cube object and switch to Weight Paint mode
Enable 'Vertex Selection Masking for Painting'
Enable 'Limit Selection to Visible'
Switch Viewport Shading to Wireframe
Hidden vertices on the Cube can't be seen or selected

The current functionality is working as intended.

Wire frame is handled differently in weight paint mode - it shows wireframe but still uses depth buffer, which can be toggled.

The advantage with this is you have a shadeless view that shows wire topology - optionally with/without occluded vertices visible.
