Research direction
Start by reproducing guest-account creation with the email server left unconfigured, then trace the guest creation flow and the reset-email error. Done means the behavior is consistent: a failed reset-email attempt should not leave an unintended guest account behind; verify the result with the relevant existing tests or a focused reproduction.
