If the FAS backend managed to create a new account in bugzilla, why would
I need to _change_ an existing one myself? Can't it sync bugzilla with my
email change in FAS? (which is what I expected it to do)

Anyone who changes email in FAS gets a new bugzilla account for the changed
email address? Is that how it's implemented currently?

Well, I could ask bugzilla to send me a password, then reassign the
superfluous account to a throw-away address.
