You are right, it is related to this bug. As Bill commented in #1 
"Whenever online accounts are created through system-settings, the default behavior now has all options disabled. For Facebook account, this means that nothing has access to the Facebook account. For Google, this means that contact and calendar syncing is off. The user has no way of knowing these options exist.

I completely agree, when creating an account from the system-settings
the account permission page should be opened automatically so the user
can see the options. When created directly from an app, this isn't
necessary because the app is enabling the desired permissions."

Even if we haven't any currently, we probably will have more in future.
For example sync mail, calendar, contacts.... As a user I need to be
made aware that those options exist.

Title:
  [System Settings] After adding an online account, users should always
  be able to see account options

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  New
Status in ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 14.10 r269

  Adding an account from an app through System Settings seems to work
  fine. However, t seems that users are always redirected straight back
  to the app they came from without being able to review any account
  options, e.g. sync options.

  If you sync for the first time from the address book for example, you
  won't have the chance to enable any additional syncing options.

  -----------------UX comment-----------------

  After adding an online account, users should always be able to see
  account options and then return to the originating app.
