Authlogic OpenID: Fetching E-Mail from Provider.

Question

This is a really weird problem: I have set up the authlogic_openid_selector_example app. When i register, the email id is not returned by the openid provider the first time. But if i delete the account and register again, the email id is returned. How do i fix this problem? I have hosted my version of the app here: http://pingauthtest.heroku.com/

I looked at my development log and the first time the provider doesn't return the openid.ext1.value.ext0 which contains the email id. This is returned the second time only after having deleted the account first.

Edit: Some extra info for debugging:

THIS IS WHEN IT REGISTERS:
