Well if the fact that you can change it to whatever you want = not showing your personal info, isn't enough for you, i presume you shouldn't use it.
I understand it can be a problem for you, but it's something personal.
Don't wanna show your name, change it. Easier seems impossible.

If you wanna use your real name, there is really no need to hide it.

So as i see it:
-You want to use your real name, you put it into your info.
-You don't want to use your real name, you don't put it into your info.

I don't see any obligation.

Plus we are talking about a beta, there are flaws and it's supposed to be so, probably some flaws are really huge. If you don't want to take the risk you should never use beta of any softwares, it's normal.

For me makes no sense to talk about such little issues (cause it's an issue created by a wrong usage), when there are issues like the process msnmsgr,exe not closing when you close msn. This is really a deal breaker, one of the reason I could switch back to 2009.
