I may be wrong but armed with the serial number alone any subsequent owner would not be able to access any of the registered person's details?
That isn't the case if you have entered information into the camera itself, I tried a D3 a while back which turned out to be faulty, the PO's full details were embedded in the EXIF of my trial images; I was able to contact him and ask him about the camera's history.
The PO was very helpful and gave me details of the history and the fault.
I agree it's good practice to de-register any disposed of equipment if only to facilitate the new owner's need to register.
I register all my stuff with Nikon as then it falls within my NPS membership conditions.
This includes any secondhand stuff that I buy e.g. 50mm f1.2 MF lens.
