You most probably misunderstood the meaning of this parameter. 

Let me explain.

According to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Openid#Configuration it does this
when set "true":

"when first-time logging in with OpenID, show option to select an existing
MediaWiki user"

So when you "create an account" on an E:OpenID-enabled wiki, it shows you
_also_ a form where you can enter i) the name of an existing account user ii)
the associated password. In that way, you can "come" with your OpenID to your
MediaWiki, login and associate that OpenID with the user account.

I am closing this bug, but feel free to reopen it, if you are unhappy with my
decision and if you need further clarifications.
