Of course, the workaround would be to deactivate it for the time it takes for an administrator to create the new user, then reactivate it once that is done.
A new version of Absolute Privacy is coming out shortly that is compatibile upto WP 3.1-alpha
v2.0 of absolute privacy was just released. I’d be interested in seeing if your experience changes.

Hi! I’m having the same issue with the user approval loop as described above and I just emailed you (John) directly regarding this. As stated, I approve the user, it says a notification will be sent, it does in fact get sent, but then the same user shows up in the moderate users list and is still showing as unapproved. The user never really gets approved and cannot log in, even though they receive a notice that they have been approved.
Thanks!

I’ve gotten a few more reports of this. I haven’t been able to replicate it, but I’m going to spend some time over the weekend doing so. Keep your eye on this post for more info. Thanks!
Ok, those having this problem right now should upgrade to v2.0.4 which I just released. Then go to Settings->General and make sure “Unapproved” is NOT set to your default role. Make it subscriber (or whatever fits your site).
