This sounds very strange, I don't see how these two could be related?
The user update is completed before you release the user registrar.

How do you determine when the user is updated anyway? Maybe you are
referring to when you receive the password reminder email? In that case,
mails can indeed arrive with a small delay, as they are first queued in
a database table, and in case of a failing SMTP server they could arrive
a whole lot later. For details see:
