They will do that if the username and/or email address is already taken. I've seen it on my own instance. There are possibly other reasons as well.
If that's the case and it's just a bug that there's not feedback on the sign-up page then that's cool. Probably need to track an issue for that. But right now the new user is experience is pretty bad for even technically literate people.
I agree. I've submitted a bug report already about the username/email address issue.
