Does anyone here know anything about this? Does anyone know how to ensure that a request to update a user actually updates instead of inserting a duplicate (w/o simply reverting to SQL?)

It shouldn't be adding a new user as long as you pass a proper
$userdata array to it.

According to the docs: "uses wp_insert_user() Used to update existing
user or add new one if user doesn't exist already"
