Comment:

 Looking at `admin_email_check_cap` filter, there is a somewhat high
 possibility for plugins to be "doing-it-wrong" there? All users that are
 redirected will have to have the `manage_options` capability or they won't
 be able to update the email address.

 The intended functionality can be done by using the
 `admin_email_check_interval` filter and looking at the current user. If
 additional capabilities are required, the standard `current_user_can()`
 can be used as well. Then the redirect can be disabled on per-user basis
 by retiring a "falsey" value, see
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 login.php?rev=46325#L1246.

 Perhaps would be better to update the docs and describe the user case in
 more details?
