Having trouble reproducing this on dev, stage9, or prod. Could be a single failing Mindtouch API webhead? Maybe a fix is to wrap some further robustness & retries around the Django code hitting the MT API? (Ugh)

I can't reproduce reliably either, but we get a couple of server-error emails on this per day. :( It affects both en-US/users/browserid_register and */users/register
