--- Comment #35 from Neil Babbage <[email protected]> ---
I'm the one with the "quite unusual problem", in comment 34. If it helps, there
was one difference in what I was doing on the wikis where my account became
detached and the ones that didn't. For the first renames I did, I went to the
project, edited my preferences to change the language to en, then went to
RENAMEUSER and completed the renames. For the ones that broke, I used a direct
link over https rather than navigate round the Wiki. For example, I used
https://example.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RenameUser&oldusername=AnOldName&newusername=ANewName&reason=why+not
 

I've no idea if this is the cause, but maybe the local account creation process
isn't being invoked or completed properly if you enter the project via this
route rather than the normal route a user would take.
