Comment(by phw):

 Interesting. Nice find, isis!

 Just for the sake of completeness: the plus sign in GMail addresses is
 used to automatically label emails. If I own foo at gmail.com, I can
 distribute foo+bar at gmail.com to automatically label all incoming emails
 with "bar". So for the
 "<static_username>+<incremental_integer>@gmail.com"-attack you mention,
 you need '''only a single''' GMail address.
