You're right, unfortunately. Client-side validation in account creation is
hampered by bug 40648 "can't validate username against blocking extensions like
AntiSpoof." Technical discussion should continue there.

Do you think client-side validation is useful as it is, given that it can be
misleading and you only discover some problems with form input by submitting
it?  

Maybe the green checkmark shouldn't turn on for the username field.  It means
"no apparent errors with this field", not "this is going to work".  It's
possible for extensions to complain about the other fields on form submissions,
but I haven't seen this happen on enwiki for password and e-mail.
