In reply to christo:
Here is my thinking on the matter. In order to gain elevated permissions or access to limited access resources (forums) the user normally needs to query the administration staff of the forum. To do so they need to either send a private message or post a regular message on the forum. Neither of these abilities are available in the even the user's account is not confirmed, which means the user cannot make such a request until they've confirmed their account.

You describe the probably typical forum situation. The problems I described arose out of a different situation:

We are switching from mailing lists to forums. So I send an email on a mailing list, announcing the forum. Since I knew the persons, I gave them roles and permissions as soon as they registered. In the end, it turned out that in some cases the confirmation wasn't done, which produced the described state. And from this situation you'll also see, that having a 'confirmation pending' indicator in the member list can be helpful to the admin or group manager.
