user account creation awaiting approval doesn't insert token

Automatic node title is not generated and left blank when a new user account is created and the content profile module is used to create a new profile and automatic nodetitles is used to create the content profiles title. This in conjunction with replacement tokens offered via cck fields.

It does work however when the user account creation process is open w/o admin approval.
Current work around: evaluate php function in the automatic nodetitle pattern field:

<?php echo $node->field_name[0]['value'] ?>

Is this related to the token module or automatic nodetitles?
