Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 @DD32: To the end user, it looks as if there is no user_login field at
 all. In the background, I keep user_login in sync with the email without
 ever displaying the login field.

 Westi's question goes down to do whether to show a blank login field that
 the user can then fill out to choose a (final) user_login when he
 currently has none. I like the idea, personally.
