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.
