Thanks Phil!
I also thought of a couple of related cases which are not yet covered:
* You cannot associate a password with an username that was created
with an openid (restricted to only openid login)
* You cannot change your openid

I documented some examples of UI for associating an openid with an
existing account
http://www.flickr.com/photos/philaestheta/tags/associateopenid/
and found a few cases of associating an account with an existing
openid (eg if someone uses openid to create an account):

Regarding openid for mobile:
skitch has an example of using a proxy account for an openid so you
can use a username/password for the desktop app (not the ideal
solution considering it breaks the utility of openid) - http://www.flickr.com/photos/philaestheta/3295629585/

Hey Phil,
Thanks for the report. I've ticketed it at http://trac.openplans.org/melkjug/ticket/342
. Feel free to ticket any other issues you have there or just let
me know and I can do it if you prefer.
I think it shouldn't be too hard to allow an openid to be
associated with an existing account logicwise; we'd just have to
come up with the UI for it. Melkjug currently has no 'manage your
account' type page, so maybe this should either wait until it needs
to grow one, or maybe we could simply add an 'add your openid' to
the user home page. Thoughts?

I think the problem I've had with OpenID on melkjug is that I can't
associate an OpenID with my existing account. If i simply try to
login with openid, I receive the error message "unable to
authenticate". It seems that I'm able to create a new account by
simply using openID which is awesome as it's common for many
services to force you to first create a normal account and then
have you associate an openid with it.
Should i ticket this somewhere?
