Have you tried again after you merged the accounts? If the problem persists, I
suggest that you file a bug on https://launchpad.net/products/launchpad/+filebug
to make this issue is addressed.

Some accounts are automatically created in Launchpad, so if you ever
maintained a debian package or helped translating a product, it's very likely
that this account was automatically created for you. That's why we have the
account merge feature.
