Looking at existing tickets related to nearby users I am finding the following: * http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/3581 about displaying active mappers first in the list of nearby users * http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/3407 which is the popup bug * http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/436 about the user setting the radius for the nearby threshold * http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/1425 is a variation on that, asking the developers to expand the radius. * http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/1852 suggests the sending of 'GeoMessage' (basically what I was talking about too). There is no discussion whatsoever on this ticket so if it is a contentious issue, that is not reflected here.
As for the popup bug, that could be fixed by commenting out line 102 in public/javascripts/map.js. I can't be sure if this breaks anything else, there's only a few places where it's being used as far as I can tell: the diary entry page and the main map page. I'll create a pull request.
