Well, I think Stephan did:
Right now AFAIR after triggers run at the end of the containing
statement
(in this case the select of createuser) which is what causes the
behavior
you're seeing.  I'm not sure of a good work around, off hand, for your
case though.

So, what about just skipping the trigger and move the trigger function
to
CreateUser?
