I took a quick look at the code, and there is no hooks in that area, as that is all read from the datastore. But I will dig a bit more as time allows.

I've been looking at this too and I cannot figure out where $vbulletin->userstats is updated. Surely somewhere in the required files for register.php the values for $vbulletin->userstats['newuserid'] and $vbulletin->userstats['newusername'] are updated and put in datastore. If you could find it you would still have to prevent it from happening and change things so those values were updated when the membership is approved.
