Having thought about this (and had some sleep) since.. I realised that,
as far as I know, ExternalAuth *already* looks up external user info
when a user is autocreated by email because when the user is created
CanonicalizeUserInfo is called which is overridden by ExternalAuth and
so goes off to find the users info based on their email address.. Can
you confirm this?
