It's actually not so much CentralAuth disabling the feature as the new flow
actually redirects the browser to loginwiki, then back to a CentralAuth special
page to finish the login, so we can't run the core bits at that point.

The patch that anomie just put in allows a wiki to set a message like
Welcomecreation-msg, for wikis that want to do that.

If we merge that patch, the behavior on WMF sites will remain exactly how it is
currently, unless CentralAuth-welcomecreation-msg is defined. In that case,
we'll show the message with a link to the returnto parameter. However,
GettingStarted (or any extension that implements CentralAuthSilentLoginRedirect
hook) can blank out the injected html if they want to just redirect the user to
the returnto url instead (or they could change all of the html set by
CentralAuth-welcomecreation-msg, if it wanted).

Hopefully that gives everyone the technical means for each site to do what is
best for each community.
