 The purpose of the "send_email_change_email" filter is to allow the
 optional suppression of the warning email sent when a user changes their
 email address.

 However, that warning email is sent by function
 send_confirmation_on_profile_email() at user.php line 2623 - which gets
 called ''before'' the apply_filters for send_email_change_email is called
 by function wp_user_update() in user.php at line 1856.
 So, by the time that (any) send_email_change_email filter could be called,
 the warning email has already been sent.

 Further, function send_confirmation_on_profile_email() resets
 $_POST['email'] to the ''original'' email address, so function
 wp_user_update() is not even aware that the email address has been
 changed, and never calls the apply_filters for "send_email_change_email".
