Not really.
https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Centralauth-finishglobaliseemail_body/en
says that clicking the first link will confirm...merge...allow; while the
second will unconfirm the address (anything might have happened since
confirmation, anyway rare occasion). The language is ok as long as we do one of
those three things to the account (and we do).

As long as the account is not un-confirmed by the script itself (directly or
indirectly) I think there is no problem. I find only two places (in User.php)
where user_email_token_expires is checked , hopefully it's easy enough to
assess byproducts.
