Description
Registering to a new host tied to vector.im IS with an existing email shows server error (as per #13767), but also crashes the registration flow with a spinner of death.
Reloading the page logged me in. The error seems to indicate the registration of my account failed when in reality only the binding to the IS failed.
This might make the user think the registration did fail and just close the browser window OR re-register another account, thus contributing to a bad user experience. This is especially bad for EMS since many users using matrix.org might try an EMS host and are likely to use the same email.
