I confirm that this is the case, however it's not clear to me how this should be fixed.

We can know that a duplicate account has been created only *after* the authentication completes. We probably need to show some error message to the user, and inform them that the same account already exists, and that the current account creation will be discarded.

This is a bug and the system should check if there is already an account for that email address and return a message to the user into a standard dialog box saying: "There is already an account created for this email address." and with an OK button that dismisses the dialog. The system will not create a duplicated account.
