My understanding is that in the absence of an --account option, sbatch/salloc assumes the account is the user’s primary POSIX group.

Are you sure about that? I've never heard of such defaulting. My understanding is that without --account, sbatch/salloc will use what has been set as the user's DefaultAccount in Slurmdbd. That can be set explicitly with sacctmgr first time a user is created, but failing that, the account of the first user-account association of the user will be used as DefaultAccount.
