    If the other username account is yours then you have to log out and clear your browser cache and cookies and log in under the correct username account to accept the invitation.
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/

    Here is what the relevant support doc states:

    They will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If they are logged into their WordPress.com account, they will be taken directly to your blog. If not, they will be taken to the log-in screen, where they can either log in or create a new user account.

    Note that users who create a new WordPress.com account at that point will still need to return to the invitation email and click the “Accept Invitation” button after doing so.

    The software will redact ie. HIDE the email address so only Staff can see it. After you provide that information re: answer to 1 & 2 please modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff attention, and subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond.
