They do limit it to one. These are characters on an account that have different FCs since the FC tags don't need to be unique.

Let me give a hypothetical where this can happen in an entirely innocent way. You have your own FC on your main and you own a house. Your alt on the same account is in a different FC that has a house. Your alt becomes the leader of that FC and thus the owner of the house because the leader owns the house.

You could say that you don't allow characters on the same account to be in different FCs. That...ain't gonna fly. You could say the leadership should transfer to someone else who doesn't have a house. What happens in very small FCs where the next person who last logged in may not be active anymore? Then nobody who is active owns the house and anything that requires being the owner can't be done.

A decent suggestion is having workshop items move to individual GCs. I think that's viable since the grand experiment of FC workshops just hasn't really panned out. That would eliminate the desire to have as many of these shell FCs, without hurting smaller FCs.
