The patch/fix there was incorrectly applied to a different function (PR: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/39293).

Hi,
If you try and create an S3 user account with an email address that's already in use, you get a very confusing error message.
Suppose that bar@domain is already in use for an S3 account uid=baz
radosgw-admin user create --uid=foo --display-name=Foo --email=bar@domain
will return something like:
could not create user: unable to parse parameters, user id mismatch, operation id: baz does not match: foo
...which is pretty confusing.
I think I have a patch to make the error message more helpful, but thought I should put in a tracker issue in the mean time. I found this in Luminous, but it's still present in master.
