Well, since OpenID uses a URL as an identifier, then it can be used to track you just as easily.
And Persona doesn't preclude the use of ephemeral names like N123123@nopersona.org (which I've just registered) to make tracking more complex.
I mostly see the unified name as a feature, not a bug.

No so.
Yes, it uses a URL. But as of version 2 a provider can provide the same login URL for all users. Google's implementation does this. I would not use any OpenID provider that didn't do it, which among other things means I wouldn't use any provider who only implements version 1.
