 troubleshooting/forum/topic/profile-page-404-after-1-5-upgrade/.

 The same thing is arising when `BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE` is
 set to true, according to the report in the support forum. Should be
 examined to see if we can recreate.

 At a glance, I'm not sure why in r3675 I opted to return the value
 untouched when `BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE` is *false*. Seems
 like it should be the opposite, since when
 `BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE` is false, a value with a space
 should never be passed to `bp_core_strip_username_spaces()`. But this
 needs more examination.

 Marking with a low priority, as it appears to be quite an edge case.
