Comment:

 I believe that this is currently expected behavior, clunky as it may be.

 If I'm grasping this correctly, a $_POST error (generated via server-side
 validation) will persist as long as long as one of the four required
 inputs (user_login, email, pass1 or pass2) is empty. This is because the
 asynch validation prevents the form from updating the $_POST data until
 they all hold some kind of value regardless of integrity. E.g., ajax
 checks for a value, server checks for integrity of the value.

 So unless somebody wants to tackle asynchronous server-side $_POST
 validation, I suggest closing as wontfix or maybelater.
