So the exact repro steps are:

- ensure `discourse_narrative_bot_welcome_post_type` set to “Send all new users a welcome message with a quick start guide”

Then –

- send an invitation to a message using an email not tied to an existing account
- now you can see the staged user on the site, go to the user admin page, the user is only staged but not activated just like it should be
- open the forum in a private browser window
- click on Create New Account
- create a new account using the email address from the first step
- activate the account in a private window and continue to site
- as a site admin refresh the user page of the staged user and the account is still staged but active

Does that sound correct @tshenry?
