Meteor Account merge failing silently

Repro:

1. Logout from crater.io
2. Upvote a post
3. Click "signin with meteor" button
4. Click "use this account" button
5. "Please fill in your email below to finish registration" screen
6. Submit username and email ("shilman", ...)
7. "Please fill in your email below to finish registration" screen
8. Infinite loop
9. Submit diffferent username and email ("michaelshilman", ...)
10. Profit!

It appears there is a merge accounts issue with Meteor, where the "shilman" account already existed. But because there is no error message, it is hard to make sense of what's going wrong.

Ideally:

• Make merge accounts work OR
• Show an error message when an account already exists

I can confirm that this isn't working. So many posts that I want to read but can't! :(

@shilman is there any way to get around the bug for the time being?

[shilman]

@sircharleswatson you can just create a brand new account. not ideal, but should get you unstuck. 👍
