Comment (by audrasjb):

 In [changeset:"55584" 55584]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="55584"
 Login and Registration: Revert [55358] and [55360].

 This reverts the changes implemented in [55358] and [55360].

 Changeset [55358] was committed to prevent login name collision when one
 user registers with the email address `user at example.com` and a second user
 tries to register with the username `user at example.com`. However, it also
 introduced a potential backward compatibility issues for plugins that use
 `wp_update_user()`. When updating an existing user, it throws an
 `existing_user_email_as_login` error if the email address is also used for
 the user login, due to the code introduced in [55358].

 This changeset removes the new scenario added in [55358] and [55360],
 restoring the `wp_insert_user()` function back to its previous state.
