Comment (by hellofromTonya):

 Hello @polevaultweb,

 Thank you for reporting this regression.

 In doing a review with @costdev and @audrasjb, we've confirmed that yes
 this is indeed a regression and it must be fixed for 6.2.0.

 [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01GW38WF9P7RFE53EDGFRHH7CC Here's the
 search query] for the wp.org Plugins Repository. There are 2,235 plugins
 using `wp_insert_user()`. Not sure how many of those are also using it
 update existing users.

 Revert or fix?

 This regression could be fixed **''if''** there's a ''solid'', ''well-
 tested'', ''low risk'' solution that committers have ''high confidence
 in'' that it will solve the problem without introducing additional issues.

 Else, the safest approach is to revert [55358] and [55360].
