[support] Can't add user in D6: illegal choice

[Luke]

Update:

I figured it would be quick enough to just install a copy of 6.11 to a 
pure directory, and try again.

Well, exactly the same thing happens.

I created a role called "special user", and selected it in the roles for 
the new user which I called "spectest" (although I have tried other 
names).

There are no modules beyond core default active in this copy.

I have tried deselecting the "special user" role, and the "notify user of 
new account".  I have tried changing the username, and trying different 
passwords.

"An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site 
administrator."

Any thoughts?
