Public bug reported:

One of our many moodles somehow managed to convert their usernames from camelcase to lowercase. They did this after a number of users had SSOd to moodle.
As a result, auth_remote_user has the camelcase variants, and auth/user.php::User->find_by_instanceid_username() doesn't find a match because of the case issues.
As a result, it tries to create a new user, but this fails becuase usr has a unique constraint on lower(username).

I've produced a fix, and will apply in the morning.
