Thanks for catching this Bogdan.

This seems related, but not the same as bug 1159520. 

After verification, there's a message on the console that the keys haven't been obtained for Loop and so sign-in fails. Signing in again gives the keys, and all is well. This kinda reflects what we're seeing elsewhere, that if the user hasn't provided the password, then we don't have the keys. However, this also seems a slightly failing in the FxA flow.

I suspect this is going to be an issue for FxA to fix, though I could be wrong. Moving to the FxA component for the first part of the discussion at least.

Ryan, any ideas here?

Yes, I believe this is most likely to be a bug on our side.

FxA server-side bug filed at https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-content-server/issues/2384

This should be fixed by https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-content-server/commit/fd2fc72d3af8abaa7acff61f026c166fc306d3c3 which will be deployed as part of FxA train-37 next week.  Sorry for the delay in getting this fixed, it turned out to depend on quite a few subtle details of our authentication process.

The FxA fix has been deployed to production, you should now be able to make a call directly after sign-up.

Sorry for the late reply. 
Seems to work fine using latest Nightly across platforms. Marking this as fixed.
