Comment:

 In [attachment:"44672.diff"] I modified the comparison that checks if a
 provided user email address should be allowed to change in a PUT request
 to transform the comparison check of current email address <> provided
 value to always check lowercase strings.

 This feels a bit hacky, but will result in allowing a user to change:
 Editor at Example.com --> editor at example.com successfully matching WP-admin.
