Never mind... on further testing it actually does work, and does give me the expected result! :) It was actually already written to look up and store your external username in all the different auth instances, store them in JS, and swap them in and out as you switch auth instances.

This is confusing when you want to check if an auth instance works correctly because you will have to check the database (in 2 different places) or at least do a user report which pulls the remotuser value from the "correct" DB table. Mahara should only display a remoteuser if it really exists.
