A bit heavy-handed, but it works.

1. Delete the user: Itunes Connect, Users and Roles, Edit, Select user, Delete
2. Re-create the user: (+), name, email, Next, Next, select 'Technical', Save
3. User will get a confirmation email, once they accept,
4. Itunes Connect, Users and Roles, Tap User's email in the list, Enable "Internal Testing"
5. My Apps, Select App, Prerelease, Internal Testers, Select the user, Invite.
6. User will get an email invitation, which they should accept from their device.

You're good to go.

Answer 5

For new builds on the same version, once the build becomes available, I had to turn OFF testing for that version and immediately turn it back on. This instantly sent an Update notification to TestFlightApp, emailed the testers, and allowed users install the new build.
