Description
worth noting that there's two flows an email invite can take, and only one of those flows is documented in the spec. The other is completely missing.
I don't know how the flows differ, or what causes one flow rather than another to be used.

Research direction
Start with the email-invite flow documented in the Matrix specification and read the discussion in matrix-org/sydent#338, especially the linked comment. Investigate what the two flows are and what determines which one is used. The work is done when both flows and their distinguishing conditions are documented in the specification.
