Indeed, that's how it's supposed to work. Looks like I misread your
comment; thanks for clarifying.

Note, though, that mapping support for the OpenID 2.0 identifier
(legacy OpenID 2.0 Google identities) and automagically linking during
log-in using Google OAuth straight up is only supported until January
1, 2017, as mentioned in the migration spec[1]:

"
Note: Support for the OpenID 2.0 identifier mapping described above
will remain in effect until January 1, 2017.
