Invalid watcher user error when adding an invalid user as watcher (Bug #577)

Description

We were running into the following error, after introducing a new required field to the user model. Whenever somebody, how had not yet filled in the new field, was added as watcher during issue creation, we were getting a validation error:

translation missing: en, field_watcher_users is invalid

This has been observed in Redmine as well.

The basic problem is, that Chili validates the user model, when trying to add a user to the watchers list. This should probably not happen since it is (a) not the issue's creator's fault and (b) also not done, when adding a watcher to an existing issue.

I have 'ported' the Redmine revision and attached it as pull request.

I'm happy to answer any question arising with this issue.
