Comment(by jfarthing84):

 I figured it out. Try it with a user_login with spaces. You will see the
 results I reported.

 It is caused by bp_core_strip_username_spaces() being applied to the
 "pre_user_login" filter.

 Then, within wp_insert_user(), it checks for an existing user_nicename
 that doesn't match with the user_login being updated. In this case, BP
 changes the user_login from it's real value. So, wordpress thinks that the
 nicename already exists for a different user and appends a suffix.
