Comment (by davidbaumwald):

 @dd32 Since there is no "old" data for a user on initial creation, I see 3
 options:

 1. Update the docblock [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src
 /wp-includes/pluggable.php#L3029 here] to accept either `false`(which
 would indicate there was no previous user data) or a `WP_User`.
 1. Pass an empty `WP_User` object, or
 1. Pass the exact same, new `WP_User` object from the line above.

 LMK what you think and if you see another, better option.
