Comment:

 This is still a problem.
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.5.1/wp-
 includes/user.php#L1455
 That line is throwing an Exception, which prevents wp_insert_user from
 ever being called. The function description clearly states it will insert
 a new user if ID is not set.

 So I propose that either wp_insert_user get stripped completely out of
 wp_update_user or wp_update_user needs fixed to allow wp_insert_user to
 actually get used before the Exception is thrown.
