I was unable to replicate.

I set up a test institution with a few different external auth methods
I added a dozen users to the institution - all of which had a remote user name set.

I tried changing the auth method for some of them via the bulk update
page and watched the authinstance and remoteusername  db columns

I tried changing a bunch of users:
- of the same external auth method to another external auth method
- of different external auth methods to another external auth method
- to Institution:internal auth then back to an external option
- to mahara:internal auth then back to an institution's external option

The users changed auth method as expected but in none of my tests did
the remote user name disappear

Title:
  Changing the auth method requires info about remoteuser getting lost

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When you change the auth method on /admin/users/bulk.php for users who
  have an external auth method, their remote username is deleted even if
  you change it to another external auth method. Thus, you'll need to
  redo the remote username from scratch.

  There should be a help button with info about what happens so admins
  aren't surprised when the remote username is suddenly missing.
