Interesting. This would bite when running migration scripts as well, so in a
way it's good to discover and fix it earlier than that...

Of course login can't afford failing, but allow me to point out that NickK is
about the worst case available. I knew of it and I take blame for not
mentioning it in code review. That said, the "winner" of such a big active
account should have been merged at Special:MergeAccount or equivalent several
years ago.
