Curious. An no – we have no other reports so probably looking at something pretty unique. First question… when a new user registers do they EVER appear in the ‘New members’ user group? And then moved out. Or – do they go straight in to the ‘Members’ group? Best way to check this is to manually create a dummy user in the WP New User admin panel and then double check the user group membership.

OK. But even more curious now :)
Keep an eye on it and shout if anything changes.
