 > This does appear to be valid, but the same issue is not present when you
 call the `wp_update_user()` function which you should ideally use when
 updating a user. Is there a particular reason in this scenario why you're
 not using `wp_update_user()`?

 Hi @johnbillion. The documentation for `wp_update_user`
 [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_update_user] indicates
 that it should be used when updating a user only and when sending an email
 is desired, whereas `wp_insert_user`
 [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_user] should be
 used when creating or updating and when an email should not be sent.

 In my use case I wanted to ensure no email was sent, so I used
 `wp_insert_user`.
