[OpenID] More G+ weird behavior. Was: Google+ and Unique Identifiers -- different again?

On the first login, I specify
	http://profiles.google.com/Johannes.Ernst
which logs me in after having been automagically transformed into
	https://plus.google.com/104555285104903729468
per previous message.

Then, the next day, (because my session cookie is expired), I try to re-login with the apparently canonical identifier
	https://plus.google.com/104555285104903729468
which leads me to a Google page at
	https://accounts.google.com/o/openid2/ProfileCreation
that says
	<relying party URL> is asking for your Google profile, but you don't have one yet
and only gives me the option to cancel or "create a Google profile now". Trouble is, I already have a Google profile, and even adding to it does not let me proceed from that page.

So I cancel that attempt, and try again with
	http://profiles.google.com/Johannes.Ernst
which works like a charm -- except that I'm 
	https://plus.google.com/104555285104903729468
again.
