It is indeed a common support issue, and it's generally a pain to
recover from -- especially if the user figures out the issue on their
own and tries to merge their Launchpad accounts.

I can think of three UI changes which should reduce this issue:

 - Add a "log out" button, so they can change accounts.
 - Add something in the UI which shows which account they are currently using.
 - When USC starts, ask the user which account they would like to use.  This 
may be unnecessary most of the time, but can be important when redeeming a 
coupon so the user has a chance to choose the account before redeeming the 
coupon.  So, perhaps only do it during a coupon-related operation?

For that last one, I've seen a similar interface in some Android apps,
where it will ask the user to select an account from the list of known
Google accounts.  However, Android has facilities to track accounts in
the OS, so it's significantly easier to deal with there.
