I cannot reproduce this anywhere in my installed Feisty or Gutsy, and I've tried useradd, adduser, and the Ghome user adding GUI. They all add "hal" just fine. However, it sounds like this rejection diagnostic is from the install procedure. You should find you can add your name after the install. Perhaps to expedite your problem, you could add some other user for now, and then when you get the install done you can add "hal", which I assure you works for me. Meanwhile, someone needs to try to reproduce this on an install, and I may not have any other machines to do so on...
