Comment (by dd32):

 > It's also possible that some email scanners (Either on the server, or on
 an email client) may request the URL on the users behalf to verify if the
 URL contains any malicious content in which case the email owner would
 never actually see the success message, and only the expired link message.

 In retrospect, this is probably a legitimate separate issue entirely but
 is an example of how this bug/behaviour can be triggered (other than a
 double click of a link).
