There are two other hooks that may make this easier and, IMHO, just as
clean and correct:

1. If all you need to add is additional member properties, the standard
addMember processing calls member.setMemberProperties with *all* the
properties from the registration form.  The default MemberDataTool turns
this into a call on MemberData.setMemberProperties (via a path I don't
remember) which filters them to the properties declared in the 
MemberDataTool.

This means that if you are using the default membership support you can
define additional member properties by adding them to portal_memberdata's
Properties tab and the registration form.

If you are not using the default membership support you can make your
member object (e.g. ZClass) implement setMemberProperties (this is what
we do for LoginManager based members).

2. The last thing RegistrationTool.addMember does is call
RegistrationTool.afterAdd.  This means that you can subclass
CMFCore.RegistrationTool and define your own afterAdd method.
We have one which simply calls a PythonScript skin method named
new_member_actions to do any additional member processing.
IMHO, this would be a good standard feature for a future CMF.
