See also, Bug 17879 which points out that User:WP:ANI was only created because
CentralAuth allowed a name to be created that would have be forbidden if one
attempted to registered it locally.

I filed that separately because at least in principle one could patch this bug
without tackling the AuthPlugin issue, but I believe it probably makes more
sense to disallow AuthPlugin from creating accounts that lead to this scenario.
 If one does patch AuthPlugin it would be very difficult (though not strictly
impossible) to arrive at this bug again.
