I think the pertinent information is "in read-only table".

It sounds to me like you need to use [tag flag write]userdb[/tag] to set 
the userdb writable on the order entry page (or in the order route; 
wherever it is that the user record is created in your catalog).  This 
needs to happen before any other access to the userdb table within that 
page.  I'd look here first.  This doesn't explain why the admin order 
entry works properly in other locations...

Perhaps there's some behavioral difference in how the UI entry is used 
between the stores?  Perhaps they only work with existing customers for 
other stores, or they always create the user account prior to order 
entry?  (Yes, these sound unlikely)
