Would it be possible to detect a change of provider and then offer the option to migrate the account to the new provider (so long as it does not conflict with another account)?

That would be possible - but again complicate the UI. Why? You should only need to present this option after the user has authenticated

That's what I mean - it's another HTML form to present, in certain cases.

It would be easier to change the underlying ID silently, and refuse login if that then would conflict with an existing account.
