How about this workaround:

1 – Create a page template and copy the content of your register.php file to it.
2 – Create a blank page in WP using that template. Eg: my-custom-home-page
3 – Under “Settings” > “Reading”, select that WP page as a static page at “Front page displays”…

Now your front page IS your register page. Next… @Brajesh at Buddydev has coded a cool activate/login/redirect plugin that can do the rest:

I’m sure you could tweak the code of that plugin to redirect to the “edit profile” template rather than the “Public” view.

Hope it works!
