I just installed the email_registration module and am noticing a strange behavior. When I create an account as an admin the path alias that gets set is something like (zkqqcadgr6), while the username is set to the beginning of the email as described the path alias is not set correctly. If I then edit the node and then save, the alias then updates itself.

The token I am using for pathauto is user/[user-raw], is this because pathauto is not yet able to receive a username yet?

Thanks

Follow up:

It is actually more interesting now. I have an advanced action setup to alert me of new accounts created using a variable as follows.

%username has just created an account. You may view their account at www.domain.com/user/%username

This email contains the zkqqcadgr6 and then when I click the link, I get redirected to the actual alias. So, it is created these temporary usernames and then created a redirect to the actual node, and then somehow the actual alias gets set somewhere along the line.

I really don't want to have all these redirects created for every account. Any ideas?
