Comment (by bartj):

 I've looked into this and it appears, that nowadays REST API returns the
 following messages in correct order: firstly it informs if email is
 duplicated, then login.
 Despite that, I agree, it would be better to return 409 in HTTP response
 than Server Error.

 I've refreshed patch, adding only more meaningful response and tests for
 that.
