I have exactly the same problem as phbrn, and it is very annoying to see that Google is this restrictive. I don't want multiple Google accounts; I want ONE Google account (which is mainly my Blogger and G+ account) with a different Gmail address. Like phbrn, I don't care about my old Gmail account, which is forwarded to my secondary account anyhow. Is there any possibility Google with change this?
