What is an “accidental American”, in legal terms? (www.ifcreview.com)

The linked article:

FATCA: Top EU court to decide if Belgium can share 'Accidental Americans' tax data with US

The article implies accidental Americans will get some protection that purposeful Americans will not. Yes, I know what accidental American means in layperson’s terms. I am surprised there is a legal distinction and wonder how the law defines it.
