When I created user super'fantastic in the Chromium browser, I went immediately to my usertalk page, to create a test post. When trying to submit that post, I got this message: "Exception Caught: Title "User_talk:Super'fantastic" does not exist." (See screenshot) I then reloaded the page by clicking the "Discussion" tab, and thereafter it worked properly.
Later on, I tried with a new account "sohungry" in Opera (with javascript turned off), and got this message: [a5ca4c8d] /w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sohungry&definition=0503ac33637abba2f8a9fa163e68c4ac&action=new-topic Exception from line 44 of /srv/mediawiki/extensions/Flow/includes/ParsoidUtils.php: Title "User_talk:Sohungry" does not exist.

This is still a problem on preview of first post on a Flow-enabled page. On my local wiki I went to my User_talk page (a year after the account was created, so I updated this bug's summary) and tried to add the first topic, and got 'Exception Caught: Title "User_talk:S_Page" does not exist.' on preview. This could be my screwed-up local config, but ErikB commented "my fix wouldn't have helped for preview, only for doing a real save. I suppose we have to support preview, i just dont like the idea of creating wiki pages behind the scenes before anything is saved"
Just tried it on ee-flow (on Kaity's board: http://ee-flow.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Kaitymh) and it seems to work fine.
