Description

[ Redacted lead-in for a different issue I was thinking of that involved personal and professional personas with non-linked keys, which can be reduced to this issue. ]

Account #1 - Personal Professional (aka user@email) - key = user@email
Account #2 - Corporate Professional (aka user@work) - key = user@work, user@prevWork, user@prevPrevWork

If an invite goes to user@work, and it is accepted and a nice vanity URL is created with the keys for user@email, then after a bit one decides to change the address for the vanity to user@email (this wasn't immediately possible to do). Now, to set up a new nice vanity like

keybase.io/userAtWork

a second invitation is needed. But now both addresses appear to be "previously invited".

What to do?
