After running the IDC, Unification and ADC, the AccountName resolves to the User Id and correctly maps the users.
If one of the user attributes other than the User Id is modified in the IDC, the problem occurs. In this case, the email address for UserC3 was modified. After running the IDC and Unification, the account is left partially orphaned:
