I checked that this behaviour has not been met since at least 14.04 (ok, I admit I didn't test 16.04). It would be helpful to have someone provide the insights on the intention(*) and when that was the case. If this is not possible, we should decide what should be the behaviour now.

(*) I'd say the original intention is to format the /home partition and re-use it because of these two sentences in the test:
- "Name, username and password are accepted. You should enter the same username as the first install so that the /home partition is re-used. The continue button is enabled"
- "You should verify that the /home partition has been wiped out an no previous data has been left back "

It is also possible that the partition is not (automatically) re-used though.

edit: while I now have doubts as to what the original intention was, I also think these sentences are inconsistent/misleading wrt the rest of the document since the first one says "so that the /home partition is re-used".
