Description
I'm trying to invite a user from XMPP to a Matrix room, using the official bridge. That user never used the bridge before.
When I invite their mxid (@_xmpp_username=40yax.im:matrix.org) from Riot, I get the following message:
Failed to find the following users
The following users might not exist or are invalid, and cannot be invited: @_xmpp_username=40yax.im:matrix.org
[ Cancel ] [ OK ]
Neither of those buttons makes the user appear in the room's member list.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the invitation from Riot for an XMPP user who has never used the bridge, then trace the bridge's invite and user-discovery flow; done means the invite succeeds and the user appears in the Matrix room member list.
