No WoW Account Selector for Multiple Licenses—Second Login Disconnects First Player

Two players with two WoW licenses on one Battle.net account cannot play the beta at the same time. Kaivax suggests creating a PTR account on the account page, and asks whether the game then lets you pick which account to play.

Bathered: My dad and I both purchased the beta on our separate WoW accounts, but on the same battle.net account.

I've been looking into this, and I wonder if you can solve it by doing the following:

Log in to your Account page: http://account.battle.net
Go to the Games & Subscriptions section.
Scroll down to Starter Editions & Public Test Regions.
Click Create PTR Account and then confirm by clicking Create Account.

What I'm wondering is-- at that point when you log in, do you get a prompt for which one to use, allowing you to use the new one while Dad uses the original?
