A reason field was added to the create account form when creating a new account for someone else (if you're already logged in) (bug 21503). This reason field is kind of confusing if you're not all that familiar with creating accounts for others. There should be some sort of help text explaining what the field is for. The main problem is I have no idea what the help text should say, so I'm filing a bug instead of fixing the issue ;)
The new vertical layout create account form has placeholder text for this, createacct-reason-ph is currently 'Why you are creating another account'. There are other things we can do to explain creating an account for another, but I wonder how common it is.

Resolving fixed, assuming the placeholder text is good enough.
