Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 Thinking out loud... Another possibility could be to leave an empty login
 field around that is actually writable in the profile/edit user page. Upon
 filling it once, it would become read-only and change the username
 accordingly at that time.

 Whichever option feels best to you will work for me. Just let me know how
 you'd prefer this to get implemented and/or what you are dreading so I can
 check and test, so we can get this into 2.8.
