It is only skipped when building a ClassSchema for the class, but
anything else to learn about the property will be known to the
ReflectionService anyway.

So property mapping should work fine… but it seems it doesn't. That is a
bug (missing feature?), could you file an issue?

A workaround for the time being: as soon as the account has been
created, set your password property to NULL (instead of marking it
transient).
