 This is more or less correct. On MS, the data is stored in the wp_signups
 table so that it can be used after activation. (This is necessitated by
 the fact that no user yet exists, so you can't use usermeta.) On non-MS,
 BP uses the $usermeta values *right away*, so there's no need to store
 them. So, there is a disparity between how the two are handled, but
 functionally $usermeta does the same thing in both cases.

 Oy :) If you find a good resource, let me know. Everything I know I have
 learned from years of reading the source :)

 Thanks again for the report!
