That's indeed way too clever. Remember that the account and thus

They need to cooperate on the creation of the gconf configs, but they
shouldn't be forced to coordinate their access to those configs once
that is done. Therefore different configs really must be completely
separate.
On the other hand, provisioned device-ids are at a premium. It's OK right
now while we're testing, but remember that in production there are
various external steps you may have to go through to get a new device
approved for provisioning. In the common case that you have a mail client
and a sync client both accessing the server, we *don't* want that to
appear as two devices.
