Problem fixed, root cause bypassed. (Matmarex added a switch to skip MD5 check on glitchy SFS data that was affecting account creation on PatchDemo). phab:T279395, phab:T279449

Currently, when I try to create an account, I get:

... RuntimeException: SFS IP file contents and file md5 do not match!

Backtrace:

from /srv/patchdemo-wikis/77cda30f9d/w/extensions/StopForumSpam/includes/DenyListUpdate.php(222)
#0 /srv/patchdemo-wikis/77cda30f9d/w/extensions/StopForumSpam/includes/DenyListUpdate.php(86): MediaWiki\StopForumSpam\DenyListUpdate::fetchDenyListIPsRemote()
...

This is certainly not ideal.

@Pelagic, can you try the following:

1. Create an account once more on the prototype wiki [i]
2. If/when you receive that error, try reloading the page

...doing the above seemed to work for me just now.

In the meantime, here's a ticket that describes what I understand you to be experiencing: phab:T279395.

@Pelagic are you able to try creating a new account with the prototype once more and comment here whether you are able to do so successfully?

...we think we've resolved the issue that was causing you to see the error above.

Yep, works now, thanks @PPelberg (WMF)! I've commented at the Phab ticket also, to the same effect.
