I really hate doing this, but:

http://openid.phpbb.cc/
http://test2.phpbb.cc/

Those are two different implementations (the first one is a sklightly
modified JanRain/Justin Gallardo's Drupal module) that successfully cope
with this "problem". The Mediawiki patch would be third (taking a hybrid
approach).
