    you can only create a SQL user without login;

    so CREATE USER [ClarkKent] WITHOUT LOGIN is fine and will work;

    but if you put in a slash in the name, a windows user/group is assumed,and that's what is failing

    That can't be true 100% of the time because most of the usernames with slashes are being added just fine. There are about a half dozen or so (out of like 100) users that are giving that error, and there doesn't seem to be an obvious reason why those are failing and the rest aren't.
