When MongoDB documents with null fields are read, Go's BSON driver deserializes them as zero values (e.g., "" for strings). On update, these empty strings were written back instead of null, causing "document duplicate" errors for SAML users due to the partial unique index on username (migration 77). This fix removes username and email from the update document when they are empty strings, preserving the original null values in the database.
