Context and steps to reproduce

As noted in #103479, an error occurs when trying to use the Magic Link flow with an aliased @automattic.com email address.

Reproduction steps:

  • Go to any flow which requires Jetpack authentication (the easiest one I can think of is to go to jurassic.ninja and log out of your WP account, then click Login).
  • On the login screen (see screenshot below), enter an email that isn't already associated with an account (you can use [email protected])

  • When prompted, click create a new account.
  • Enter the email address again and click continue.
  • It will fail with the following error:

Anecdotally, I tested this flow in the past when working on updates to the magic flow (e.g. #95617), so there has been a regression at some point.
