In https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39996#c73 Aaron mentioned,

Which I think is actually directly related to _this_ bug. This check means that
for someone registering a new account, if there isn't a global account, but
there are unattached accounts with this same name, the account isn't created in
centralauth-- it's kept as a local only account.

I believe this is the behavior causing the issue that Analytics saw, right?

I think there's a question as to what the correct behavior should be in this
case.
