Public bug reported:
The symptom is visible as a minor UI bug:
1) Go to System Settings -> Accounts
2) Create an UbuntuOne account (delete any pre-existing ones)
3) Watch the page we are returned to
After a successful account creation, we should be returned to the account list,
where we see the newly created account; instead, we are returned to the
providers list, where the UbuntuOne account is now grayed out.
This happens because when the account creation fails, we leave the user on the
providers page (in order to possibly try again).
Besides this minor UI glitch, the bug has another effect, potentially more
serious: after online-accounts-ui detects that the account creation has been
successfully completed (which it doesn't, due to this bug), it adds the client
application to the ACL for the newly created account.
Now, the fact that this does not currently happen is not a real problem, since
all services using the UbuntuOne account are unconfined processes; but if there
was a third party click application which requested the creation of an
UbuntuOne account, this application would not be enabled to use it after the
creation.
