 Found while trying to use user_register action on new account creation.

 According to the code comment, function _get_additional_user_keys()  does
 this: "Return a list of meta keys that wp_insert_user() is supposed to
 set."  Included in it's return data are "first_name" and "last_name".
 However, the wp_insert_user() function does not set those values, although
 it does use them.

 I am not sure whether wp_insert_user() is supposed to set first_name and
 last_name or not.  Wish it would :-)
