Just confirmed it by inviting one more user and registering a third. Users who are invited don’t show a registration IP, the user who I registered by hand did. Hopefully that’s consistent with what @Garrick has experienced.

Would that make this a bug, or is the behavior expected for invited users? Registration IP is presumably for sockpuppet detection, whereas invited users are more trusted?
