When a wiki is protected by "$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;", only admins and bureaucrats can create accounts and when they do that, the log doesn't list them neither in its own page (Special:Log/newusers), nor in Recent Changes.
Works for me in REL1_5 and HEAD both when I create an account normally and for someone else.
I did it again on another wiki, but it was ok. Weird. Anyway, closing this.
I just did some research: the log lists the creation if the sysop does it normally, but if the sysop creates an account using "send via mail" feature, the log doesn't respond. Was this done on purpose? I think that the log should list the new user creations regardless on the means of the creation.

The lack of a log for account creation when using the "by email" feature happens for non-sysops as well. I just made a new account for myself on st.wiktionary and then made an account for someone else since they were unable to view the captcha, and the second account I made, using Special:Userlogin while logged in, was not logged, even though I'm not an admin there.
Newuserlog is a bit borked up; I'm fixing it. The hook point for it in Special:Userlogin wasn't being called for the 'by mail' path, but is also missing information on the user name to record.
Fixed in r13682.
