Oops, when I switched back to using allow-edit-profile instead of the
hack in the previous email, it worked fine.

I guess there must previously have been a bug in my update-user method
which somehow led me to think that it wasn't being called at all. (I
am just using <login-realm>, so there wouldn't have been an issue with
call-next-method.)

sorry for the false alarm...
