Is there a good reason to allow this in the first place?

Create two accounts with the same UID, foo at bar.com. Then try this  
script:

	tell app "Adium" to account "foo at bar.com"

Surprise: It returns an account. Of course, it's not guaranteed to be  
one account or the other, since you weren't specific enough.

What it *should* do (and doesn't, as of this old rev) is raise an error.

The same could be said of “account "foo at bar.com" of service  
"Jabber"” for multiple Jabber accounts with that UID, if we want to  
continue allowing that sort of tomfoolery.
