Comment (by robert.peake):

 In the longer term, could `wp_authenticate_username_password` have its
 priority lowered (and all other auth-specific core functionality that
 needs to fire before it be likewise lowered) so that hooking into
 `authenticate` with the default priority value of 10 behaves as expected?

 Could a proof-of-concept conceivably be created as a plugin to demonstrate
 this functionality? Or is it too intrinsic to core?
