Subject of the issue

My emergency access list is empty. However, I tried creating one several times (this might be related to #2209 where I made an SMTP error during emergency access configuration).

I start with an empty contact list:

When I have entered all info and submit, vaultwarden says the entry already exists

I think there's a database entry but as info is missing it isn't displayed. If I enter a new address, that mail gets delivered (but still my list remains empty).

Steps to reproduce

Open vaultwarden
Go to settings > emergency access
Add new contact & submit
Result is error, while expecting to add the new contact

Troubleshooting data

Some relevant logs from my docker image:

POST /api/emergency-access/invite
    => Matched: POST /api/emergency-access/invite (send_invite)
Error: Grantee user already invited: xxx@example.com
    => Outcome: Success
POST /api/emergency-access/invite (send_invite) => 400 Bad Request
    => Response succeeded.

    => Matched: POST /api/emergency-access/invite (send_invite)
    => Outcome: Success
POST /api/emergency-access/invite (send_invite) => 200 OK
    => Response succeeded.
thread '<unnamed>' panicked at 'Grantee user not found.', src/db/models/emergency_access.rs:96:50
GET /api/emergency-access/trusted application/json:
GET /api/emergency-access/trusted
    => Matched: GET /api/emergency-access/trusted (get_contacts)

Note the first error I tried to add account xxx@example.com while already present in database. In the second error (Grantee user not found) I submit a new address and the email got delivered but the web interface still shows nothing.

If I open the SQLite file, I see the records in the table emergency_access, but I'm a bit hesitated to clear that table and hope the issue will resolve automatically.
