Hi, I'm the original poster on Reddit.
It's a great theory -- and I can see how this could easily happen to someone - but it was not the case in this scenario. In fact, doing so would completely defeat what I was trying to achieve. The email address I used for Facebook was unique, not used for anything else, and not shared with anyone else. It was completely isolated.

(suggested below by eridius) And riverdan points you you didn't seem to clear browser cookies since you last used you old personal FB account?
- jklick 8y agoYeah, that's what the running theory is. Kind of angry with myself if that's the case. However, as I point out in my second update, the whole endeavor seems to be awfully tricky. One misstep and privacy leaks.
- josephjrobison 8y agoMaybe recreate it, but take out all the associations that people are suggesting here? Spin up a new Windows VPS and create all activity over there and see if FB still connects you?
