I've tried creating new users by talking to the database directly with the following two SQL statements:

INSERT into users (login, hashed_password, firstname, lastname, mail, mail_notification, admin, status, language) values (blahblahblah)

followed by

INSERT into members (user_id, project_id, role_id) values (blahblahblah)

Everything works fine with one exception:

When creating a new issue, the users created with the above are presented as checkboxes under 'watchers' (along with all the other users), but if they are selected, I get

« Watcher users » is invalid

And the issue won't be created. After the issue is created (without those users), I can add the users created as above individually as watchers without a problem.
