I believe this could be worked around simply by re-enabling that field and allowing the user to specify an email there by hand, making a note that the OpenID provider's email is used by default.
-Here's the dumbest [[!taglink patch]] that actually fixes the problem for me:

+The dumbest [[!taglink patch]] that actually fixes the problem for me is in the branch mentionned here.
It would probably be better to add a comment on the field as indicated above, but it's a good proof of concept.
Any other ideas? --[[anarcat]]
