auth.user is just a reference to session.auth.user. Once you log in,
session.auth.user does not change throughout the session, so if you update
the user record in the database, that will not affect auth.user. If you
want to update auth.user as well, you have to do so manually. One option
might be to add an ._after_update callback to the db.auth_user table (maybe
we should add this as an option to Auth so it happens automatically).
