On even further inspection, you may in fact want to override
User.set_password !-)

As Alex said, you can always - I mean, as a _last_ resort -
monkeypatch it:
# mymodel.py
from auth.models import UserManager
_create_user = UserManager.create_user
def my_create_user(self, username, email, password=None):
# do whatever here
# and eventually remember to call the original method
return _create_user(self, username, email, password)
UserManager.create_user = my_create_user
# et voilà.
