Ok, I've finally fixed it. Apologies for taking so much time and thanks
for working around the issue by re-enabling user creation in the wiki.

TL;DR: if you don't care about the technical details, you can stop
reading now.

There were two separate issues:

 - We still had php-openid 2.1.3 installed. I upgraded it to 2.2.2
   made the OpenID authentication get through

 - The OpenID extension now honors the MediaWiki setting for disallowing
   the creation of new user accounts and gives only the option to bind
   the OpenID identity with an existing account. This is generally a
   good policy, but not for our particular case. Lacking a cleaner
   solution, I simply commented out the check in the code.

I tested two OpenID providers: SourceForge and Google. Both worked fine,
while my personal id.sugarlabs.org is rejected because the SSL
certificate is expired. We should fix that. Luke, could you please take
care of this?
