Thank you; that's what I was missing.
(This has persisted into trunk's database.lua. Does that syntax really work
with all database backends -- MySQL, Postgres, SQLite3 -- or is it a
MySQL-specific extension? I don't know standard SQL, but a few Google searches
indicate that MS SQL Server at least doesn't do it.)

Interesting! And anyone pre-registering users is unlikely to have the same
bug as us either (unless their registration code is a hacked version of our
code, I suppose).

So it would seem.
OK, will close this as Invalid.
