Comment (by coffee2code):

 @mdawaffe is correct, though it looks to be pretty rare that a 0 would be
 returned by `wp_insert_user()`.  Updated patch has been attached
 (14290.2.diff), which refreshes original patch against latest trunk and
 accounts for `$user_id` potentially being 0 or a WP_Error.  But to be
 clear, `wp_insert_user()` is meant to return a WP_Error if there is an
 error and `register_new_user()` can't handle it without this patch.
