[Self Hosted] Issues creating an account from a guild invite link without an email provider configured

Summary

When you try to create an account from a guild invite link, and your instance does not have an email provider configured, there will never be a verification email and you can never claim the account. This means that your account can never send any messages, along with any other issues that you would have without verifying. However, even when I go through the admin page to manually set and verify the email of a user, it doesn't properly "claim" the account. If they try to send a message, they still get this response: image
