OK, I think I need to take a step back to try to figure out what's
actually wrong here.

What is it you are actually trying to accomplish? Are you trying to
remove the single-store functionality for emails? As mentioned, the
whole design of the system is done around that a single email should
only be stored once - but it sounds like you're removing that for some
reason? Or am I misunderstanding?

It sounds to me like your patch that bypasses the check is either
broken or misguided, since that's what actually causes the problem?
