Hi Pete, Thanks for providing me with extra detail around this issue. It would be difficult to diagnose this problem if it is not reproducible. The error might have been related to the account creation problem, but it's hard to say with any certainty. Let me know if you see this happen again, and hopefully with more data points we can get a better idea of what's going wrong.
