This is an Android limitation. Possible workaround - don't check for account presence when installed on SD card.

It would be a dirty workaround. Applications should verify if the account is present in AccountManager (as they should not operate when the user removes the account). Since an app cannot make a difference between account removed by the user or by the system when SD card is unmounted, the only solution is to disable app2sd.

As of last update, I have decided to disable app2sd, as it brought much confusion and complaints related to functionality limitations of storing an app on external storage.
