Thanks @gerhard.

“Enable staged users” was in fact enabled already. In my case, the user has two accounts on the forum, both live. She replied to a notification from the “other” account and it got rejected by Discourse.

I’ve noticed also that the wording on the setting is a little ambiguous. “Only use reply key” suggests in my mind “don’t additionally validate email address” - but then the setting description says that disabling the setting allows user impersonation. I’ll try disabling the setting and see if that helps.
