It is permissable. Two problems are:
* if you don't disclose it when applying for adminship or similar 
function, this can look bad for obvious reasons
* if it is disclosed later, you are kind of back to square one

All that said, consider Deacon and how he didn't loose anything by 
abandoning Calgacus account. Btw, did he disclose his former account in 
his RfA?
