Joe,
Here's some additional info. I registered directly from windows live and did not get an email. The page prompted me for userid and email as you mentioned. I entered this information and received the confirmation email and all worked according to what is expected.
When using windows live via RXP, I have a different experience. Here are the steps.
1. I give rpx/windows live approval to send information to my site.
2. I return to a screen that has
___________________________________________________________________
Register on this site with your Windows Live account.
Open ID http://cid -xxxxxxxxxxx.spaces.live.com/
E-mail myemail@live.com
Create Account
We were able to validate your Open ID Account but some additional information is required to register on this site.
__________________________________________________________________________
3. Email is listed here so I click on create account and get the following screen.
4. The next return screen adds the following message.
This site requires confirmation of a valid email address to sign in after registering. An email message has been sent to the email address you provided. Click the link in that email message to confirm your account. After confirmation, you will be allowed to sign in to the site.
All seems fine up to this point. However. I find the following in the system log:

Further, when I go to the member list, the user exists but does not have an email.
So to summarize, when using windows live id via RPX an email comes back and shows up uneditable on the screen. An account get created, but the email is empty.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks,
Bruce
