causes both the school and year fields to return form errors stating invalid options. field_test1 works as expected.
changing the form's widget to autocomplete (tagging) allows the form to be validated but the value is not passed to the user create function on the site.
doing a similar entity_create call with a custom entity (ECK) using same format for an entityref field does work; just not for user entity.
As far as i can tell it is not possible to create a new user with reference fields (term or entity reference).
setting account to this:
account = { name: username, mail: email, pass: password, field_school: {und: {0: {target_id: 62}}}, field_year: {und: {0: {tid: 7}}}, field_test1: {und: {0: {value: 'XXX'}}}, type: 'user' };
