 I tried also,  and had to do a captcha and this is what the next page said:

Verify your account
You're almost done! We just need to verify your account before we can
create it.

Account verification helps with:
Preventing spam: we try to verify that real people, not robots, are
creating accounts.
Recovering account access: we will use your information to verify your
identity if you ever lose access to your account.
Communication: we will use your information to notify you of important
changes to your account (for example, password changes from a new
location).
Unless you explicitly tell us to do so, your phone number will never
be sold or shared with other companies, and we will not use it for any
purpose other than during this verification step and for password
recovery and account security issues. In other words, you don't have
to worry about getting spam calls or text messages from us, ever.

For more information, please read our frequently asked questions.
Verification Options
  Text Message
 Google will send a text message containing a verification code to
your mobile phone.
  Voice Call
 Google will make an automated voice call to your phone with a
verification code


I then tried again with a German exit, and had no problems. Since I
don't speak German very well, I had to guess some, but it went thru
with out any captcha..

Am wondering if it is only with a US exit or if it is happening on
other country exits?
