I don't think this is unresolvable. Following Daniel's suggestion in comment 9,
what we'd do here is always prefer a username over an e-mail address. This
would retain existing functionality/behavior.

For e-mail addresses that match multiple accounts, the user would be presented
with an option post-login to select which of the accounts to log in as.
Obviously this would only work with accounts that have an authenticated e-mail
address. Such cases are terribly common given "public" accounts, bot accounts,
etc. However, given the proposed precedence (preferring username over e-mail
address), this change shouldn't really get in anyone's way.
