Comment(by c4mden):

 I've run across this bug as well, particularly when trying to hook into
 wpmu_activate_user.  We collect extra fields from users when they sign up.
 This data goes into the meta field of the wp_signups table, and I move it
 over to the wp_usermeta table when a user activates their account.

 I have to comment out the WP_INSTALLING line at the top of the wp-
 activate.php file.  We don't let users create blogs, so I imagine we're
 safe.  That line turns off all plugins altogether, and no filters will
 run.  It seems to me that the wpmu_activate_user hook is completely
 worthless (as are any others on that page) unless that top line is
 commented out.
