Ember-simple-auth get user object nested promise

Question

I'm trying to get the 'session.current_user' object accessible in all routes and controllers. It should be accessible as a promise, so I can prefilter models from the controllers. But I can't seem to get the promise chain working correctly.

I have this in the authentication initializer of ember-simple-auth

Ember.Application.initializer
  name: 'authentication',
  initialize: (container, application) ->
    Ember.SimpleAuth.Authenticators.OAuth2.reopen
      serverTokenEndpoint: '/oauth/token'

    Ember.SimpleAuth.Session.reopen
      +computed
      current_user: ->
        Ember.run ->
          Ember.$.get('/api/v1/credentials/me').then (response) ->
            container.lookup('store:main').find('user', response.user.id)

And this in the application controller:

class App.ApplicationController extends Ember.Controller
  +computed session.current_user
  current_user_gravatar_url: ->
    @get('session.current_user').then (current_user) ->
      # but I get this here
      Em.inspect(current_user)
      # => "<DS.PromiseObject:ember656>"
      # 'http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/' + md5(current_user.get('email'))

The request to users model comes AFTER the application controller actions.

XHR finished loading: "http://localhost:3000/api/v1/users/3".

What am I doing wrong here? Is the nesting too deep or should I somehow split the 'current_user' computed property into separate dependent computed properties>

There's an example in the Ember.SimpleAuth repo that illustrates how to do that: https://github.com/simplabs/ember-simple-auth/blob/master/examples/4-authenticated-account.html
