This _should_ work. If you are sure that the insert run is not run on 
registering a new user, then this is a bug, please report it. 

In fact, it is user_external_login_register() which calls user_save(), which 
calls 'insert' hook on creating new users.

The module should call normal user hooks: insert, login, after_update. If it 
fails to call them, then this is most probably a bug.
