This seems strange behaviour for a new user, and I can find no evidence that the calcsam account belongs to someone with another account (and I’ve looked so this is evidence of absence). It seems more likely that an Editor gave him some karma.
Only to the extent that you’d expect to find a connection if you looked, and I expect connections between accounts can be hidden pretty reliably to withstand a causal examination if that’s seen as a goal. So very weak evidence (however the coin actually happens to land).
The first explanation I posited, before the karma for his most recent post became visible, seems to be incorrect, but I don’t think calcsam is a new user.

Correct.
