checkPassword() accepts the user id or the email address, but handed the login name straight to setPassword(), which matches on uid_lower. When a guest with a hashed user id logged in with their email address the update therefore matched no row and the outdated hash stayed in place, so it was re-computed and dropped on every single login.

Use the user id that the lookup already returned.
