Thanks a lot Prasanna. I will take this as the expected behavior.

For expected behaviour - account parameter should be required argument IMO. We 
can have different accounts with the same username and it will cause confusions 
if accounts are as below. 

Consider:
        Account: JohnSmith, User : JohnSmith
        Account: JohnS,  User: JohnSmith

User might intend to be registering into JohnS while registration fails for 
account JohnSmith.
