Research direction

Reproduce the issue by adding an email address to a guest user's profile and following the confirmation link. Inspect the guest-user email confirmation flow and the profile UI; done means confirmation succeeds or the email-address controls are hidden for guest users, with the access-denied behavior no longer occurring.
