I had no luck changing the order, but I’ve fixed this by just unsetting the post data, then adding it back on after the user has been created. Here’s the complete function, in case it’s of use to someone else.

add_filter('publish_homeowner', 'homeowner_postdata');
function homeowner_postdata( $post_id ) {
	global $wpdb;
	$username = preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9]/", "", strtolower(get_the_title($post_id)));
	$email = preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9]/", "", strtolower(str_replace(" ", ".", get_the_title($post_id))));
        $random_password = wp_generate_password( 8, false );
        $userargs = array(
             'user_pass' => $random_password,
        	'user_login' => $username,
        	'user_email' => $email,
        	'role' => 'homeowner'
        );
        $acf_nonce = $_POST['acf_nonce'];
        $_POST['acf_nonce'] = '';
	$status = wp_insert_user( $userargs );  
        if ( is_wp_error($status) )  {
            //echo "User not created.";  
        } else {
            $_POST['acf_nonce'] = $acf_nonce;
            //echo "User created.";  
        }
     }
}
