This is an affirmation that I've seen mentioned a couple of time
recently, but I cannot assert his truth value. In my understanding, this
is still a myth. Launchpad users always have a preferred email address.
Teams might not have one, as person records that we imported but nobody
"activated". But as soon as a user "logs in" Launchpad, and thus become
a user, they have a preferred address.
As I recall there were two separate problems: one was with code that 
wasn't prepared to accept teams as persons.  The other was with cases 
where a preferred email address is disabled.
How that could happen, I don't remember.  But if an email address can be 
invalidated, deleted, or disabled, what's to say there will always be a 
preferred email address to replace it?
