Comment (by cartpauj):

 Posting here since #17009 was closed again. Thanks.

 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.
