Having a look at the inventory file immediately after the machine is 
provisioned, it does in fact update correctly.

However it appears that the inventory file is run/read only once at the 
beginning of a playbook, so it will not reflect the new host if the deploy 
playbook is run by including it after the provisioning playbook.

Looks like I will need to use add_host then, or find a way to get Ansible to 
refresh the inventory in the middle of a play.
