I think your version reads better to me, but I'm not a native speaker
either :) I think the original sentence got two things mixed up -- the
backend provider, as you noted, and the fact that if auth, access and
chpass providers are not set directly, then they inherit the value of
id_provider.

Anyway, please open that bug.
