Understood, but chicken-v-egg here...

How is create-stack-user.sh intended to be used? Is there a way to use the

Honestly, I don't use it.  I run DevStack in disposable VMs and use either
the default user ('ubuntu' on precise, etc) or my own account if I have one
pre-configured.  Its existance was because someone originally wanted to run
stack.sh as root and we didn't want that.  I extracted that out of stack.sh
so we could just say "Don't Do That" (run stack.sh as root) to side-step a
class of subtle problems like what you are seeing.

Yes.  Again, I don't use it and never noticed.  Thanks.
