This is what I think should happen too - having multiple of the "same community" is a feature, but most of the time, I would suspect most people don't want to create another and would rather join the existing one. If they still want to create another, they'll obviously be able to just hit "No, create community" or whatever (for example, politics@sweden and politics@netherlands would understandably be different despite the same name).
