That's certainly legal XML... It's a tag with no data. What it sounds
like is happening is someone is creating the account but failing to set
the name (or, setting a NULL name). This gets created during the import
process? If so, it sounds like a bug in the importer.
The problem is that "make an account" is not an atomic operation at
the API level, so there's not a good API-level verification that all
the necessary elements are set.
