  Badly setup authinstance can cause  'This Auth plugin has not been
  initialised' error

Bug description:
  If a user types their username in wrong then the system will try and
  see if other authinstances allow autocreate  user.

  But if one of those other instances is set up wrong/broken then a
  fatal error will be thrown, rather than showing the user they got
  their username/password wrong message

  This is a bit harsh, so we should catch this error and add a warning
  about broken plugin
