No, there's no indication that this was a test or glitch.
@mcdougle4248's original account may be fine, but the acount that was created by accident, was NARUed, so something definitely happened to the account that received the email.
The gmail account that was used to create the new account must have already been linked to the OP's selling account in some way, probably by IP address or something silmlar. So when it was used to create a new account, it apparently looked like a scammer was trying do something underhanded.
We can't know exactly what security warning was triggered, or what the new account did to trigger it, but it might have been something to do with the two accounts interacting in some way, or giving the appearance they were tryng to get around limitations on the accounts.
In a possibly similar situation, a former poster here once purchased an eBay Daily Deal while he was at work, so he was connected to the internet from inside his company's firewall. Shortly after, his account was suspended becuase they said he had used another account to defeat the allowed number of items that any one person was allowed to buy from that Deal. He realized that someone else at the same company, inside the same firewall, must have bought the same deal, and they thought both purchases had been made by him. Luckily, he was able to contact the community team and explain what had happened, and they were able to get the suspension removed.

Oh boy...know I think I know what I did I LOOKED AT ONE OF MY OWN ITEMS ! I didn't try to buy it, watch it, revise it or anything else, I just looked at it.
