Actually the old code didn't autocreate the accounts either, it just set the
cookies regardless of whether a local account existed or was attached. And that
works fine, because it's exactly the same situation as if you log in to enwiki
but some unattached account has your name on dewiki.

And if we did autocreate the account we'd still have the bug where if an
unattached user existed on say en.wiktionary then the SUL user wouldn't be
auto-logged-in to any other wiktionaries either.

So what we really need to do is not care about the local account for the icons.
But we do still need to care about the scripts, or we'll re-cause bug 51603.
