Comment (by needle):

 @imath What's happening is that `xprofile_sync_wp_profile()` extracts
 `$fullname`, `$firstname` and `$lastname` from the xProfile "Display Name"
 Field, then overwrites "First Name" and "Last Name" during the
 `bp_core_signup_user` action.

 FWIW here's the data just before calling `bp_update_user_meta()` and
 `wp_update_user()`:

 {{{
 [method] => xprofile_sync_wp_profile
 [user_data] => stdClass Object
   (
     [ID] => 2
     [user_login] => nobody
     [user_pass] => ########
     [user_nicename] => nobody
     [user_email] => nobody at haystack.co.uk
     [user_url] =>
     [user_registered] => 2021-09-27 11:45:15
     [user_activation_key] =>
     [user_status] => 2
     [display_name] => nobody
   )

 [display_name from xProfile] => Displayname
 [first_name from user_meta] => Christian
 [last_name from user_meta] => Surname
 }}}

 This explains why I'm seeing what I'm seeing - but not why it works for
 you.
