Mmm. I'd say some "your account has been renamed" UI is necessary.

I'd suggest a process along the lines of the following:

- Login as old account
- Login notices that old account has a "renamed" flag set
- Screen is presented:

  Your account has been renamed, and you are now logged in as <new name>. 
  You will no longer be able to log in as <old name>. 

  [ OK ]

- Login ability for old account is removed

If a user is logged in on another wiki with the old account, and returns to
their home wiki after a renaming has taken place, this should be detected and
they should be logged out. They would then get the renaming message when
logging in again.
