As an example, the first time I went to login I filled in all three fields (user, pass, openid) and then clicked [Register] because from the layout I assumed I still had to instantiate an account with ikiwiki ... and to make it even more confusing, it worked! Of course it worked by creating me an account based on the username password and ignoring the OpenID URL.
If you want to keep it as one form, then perhaps using some javascript to disable the other pieces of the form as soon as you fill in one part would help? Eg. If you put in an OpenID URL then Name/Password/Register/Mail Password gets greyed out. If you enter a username then the OpenID URL gets greyed out.
