It appears that if you try to re-register an existing user, then the error message is duplicated. This is a quirk of how we use django-allauth. It actually requires a username and email, so the error messages are correct, it is just we don't want the user to have to enter a username and use their email as the username. I think it would be best for the backend to not send the error message about username, but if it is easier to do on the frontend, then fine, whichever is easiest.
