Yup. you're correct.

I tracked through the code and found out that userapi $op='insert' is  
called after
the user_save function. Same with node.

Reason being user_save and node_save is where they get the $uid /  
$nid, which
is needed for saving the rest of the data.

Love these fun inconsistencies =)
