    When I try to use setaccount method with the same address more than once on the same account I get new addresses assigned to that account.

    Is this a but or just undocumented feature? :)

    Likely an undocumented feature :)

    The account system has many strange nooks and crannies, of which even the devs aren't sure what is the supposed behavior. It is the worst and least-maintained code that is part of bitcoind.

    That's one of the many reasons we're getting rid of it in a future release. See #3816.
