Chris's question was about a different scenario, when there isn't a global
account, but there are local accounts on other wikis with the same name.

However, I think it's still better to not allow creation in this scenario. 
This should reduce the number of account renames or people getting stuck with
Example~xywiki usernames when we do Single User Finalization.
