Comment (by Venutius):

 I've found that this is happening because the function
 `get_allow_custom_visibility` in `buddypress/xprofile/classes/class-bp-
 profile-field` is defaulting to `allow` for all profile fields where the
 visibility has not been specifically disabled. this is appropriate for all
 profile fields except `Name` where it should be disabled even if it is not
 set. my proposed fix is to change line 833 as follows:

 `if ( 'disabled' === $allow_custom_visibility || 1 === $this->id ) {`

 This adds an extra check to ensure the `Name` field returns as disabled,
 thus fixing the issue with the registration form.
