We need some API by which the store can ask the browser about its sync login status, or at least tell the browser what the store's login status is so the browser can warn.

It might be relatively easier to do this on install.  Though it feels kind of scrappy, we could have the store put the expected user account into installData and then the browser can check that against its sense of identity and put up some warning in that case.

I wonder if this bug could apply to the upcoming Apps in the Cloud implementation.

There are open design questions here that also relate to AitC

On further thought, the basic design protects against this, and if it comes up again we should revisit it in a new bug.

I am moving this to WONTFIX since it seems like a more valid resolution for the bug. INVALID resolution is when the bug was a user error.
