Reloading the activation email sent page does not work

bug

When resending email for signing up, if users refresh the page, the content will be shown as below:

We sent another activation email to you at [missing {{currentEmail}} value] . It might take a few minutes for it to arrive; be sure to check your spam folder.

I can repro on Meta with Firefox and Chrome.

The email is missing because we delete user ID from session after sending activation email and that is indeed the correct/safe thing to do.
