The OA API is designed in such a way that hiding this information is far from 
being a trivial task.
We are working on a new version of the API, which doesn't have these 
shortcomings. That will be the only accounts API provided with framework 15.10 
and later.
Unfortunately, in order not to break compatibility for apps using older 
frameworks, we cannot simply remove the old API; if this bug is considered 
worth it, we can work on turning the old API into a wrapper for the new one, so 
that it will still continue working but it won't provide any info about the 
accounts which the application cannot access.
