Exactly my point. Account migration simply isn't supported. Not in any practical sense.

And how will this be displayed to users of remote instances? Last I checked it was a confusing mess on most implementations (ie every one I have experience with) and the mess would persist indefinitely without manual intervention in the db by a given remote admin.

In the event a domain has changed hands then even with remote intervention no truly satisfactory outcome is possible. This is due to, as you rightly point out, there being no higher level identities. The domain is a fundamental part of the account as modeled by AP which makes conflicts a serious problem.
